It's not that it's too complex -- it's just that *trying* to do so --
to be a comprehensive means would be a hinderance in the long-run.

If you haven't dug into fvwm (as an example), I can appreciate how you
might think this so -- but there are a lot of aspects of fvwm that you
just couldn't represent graphically.  fvwm has hundreds of style
options, and many focus policy hints.  You can't enumerate these easily
in such a way that the user could understand or know what they mean. 
Fvwm-themes does a good job at bridging this gap, mind.
