baroque adj.

[common] Feature-encrusted; complex;
gaudy; verging on excessive. Said of hardware or (esp.) software
designs, this has many of the connotations of elephantine or
monstrosity but is less extreme and not pejorative in itself.
"Metafont even has features to introduce random variations to its
letterform output. Now that is baroque!" See also
rococo.
