I don't believe it adds complexity for the developer. Have you ever seen that popup that says: "The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA. If you resend the data, any action the form carried out (such as a search or online purchase) will be repeated. To resend the data, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel." Have you ever tried coding something like that throughout your entire application? How much complexity did that add compared to just using the proper HTTP method and let the browser take care of warning the user? Not to mention the usability gains in using GET where appropriate and *not* confronting the user with this popup on pages that don't make changes.
