You'll get no argument from me.  In most cases, the folks who only have the postcard 1040 (no S1-6) were already filing either EZ or A.  So they went from one form to one different looking form.  But anyone who had a moderately complex 1040 now went from 2 pages to 3-6 pages, all in the name of "simplification".  Oh, and next year they have to create a new 1040-SR for seniors.  So that'll be even more fun.
