baroque
     
        Feature-encrusted; complex; gaudy; verging on excessive.  Said
        of hardware or (especially) 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}.
