Try debugging poetry. The syntactic vocabulary is far too large for it to be elegant (imo, obviously).

Totally agree with you on debugging. It may not be as practical, but I don't find it ugly. Actually, I think these properties are mutually exclusive.

It guess it depends on whether you think inelegance is ugly, and then whether a far too large vocabulary is inelegant or not.
