    This is easy becasue you can't fix a bad design.

    Quoted from dzoomer:

    Code for sure for most here on pinside it seems. Let's look at an example, Stern Kiss has a reasonable design and is good overall. It may not be for everyone but nothing is... many do like the Stern Kiss design elements. However, the pin has been battered mercilessly by some here in comments because they hate the code. And the thing is the code is okay and reasonably deep; it's just not lyman level (nor would it ever have been since he was not lead coder).

    Yes....but once again, KISS (in theory) could be fixed by getting better code. You can't fix a bad design (Like WWE) with better code....IMHO.

    Design is static.....code can (even if it doesn't happen often) be enhanced or even re-written. Obviously the best of both worlds is the ideal and those are known as "home runs". I think Alien is shaping up to be the next home run pin. Time will tell.
