And at least a large state machine has the dignity to make the state + transitions explicit.
I’d much rather deal with a large state machine than something that does the same thing, but implicitly or inconsistently.
They get big, but it is not right to confuse size with complexity. A huge state machine (size measured by the number of states) can be quite simple. Both in the whole, and each state transition can be isolated and considered independently
