I don't think that's a very good example. Attribute precedence is easy to understand, and it's very necessary. After working with it for a bit it becomes very intuitive.

And all of the config management tools have a comparable concept. Ansible 2.0 has 16 levels of variable precedence, Puppet has hiera which gives you arbitrary levels of precedence, and Chef has attributes, of which there are 11-15, depending on how you count.
