I also wrote 'for being the camera it pretends to be', i.e. pure photography
(whatever that mean).
I think pure photography does not need customizable function buttons,
program modes, multi-pattern metering, two different ways for setting
shutter speeds, front & rear dials, multiple drive modes, live view, info
mode, extra button for activating AF... AF? Is that truly needed? What
about about bracketing? I think pure photography can hardly mean the most
sophisticated analog camera ever made.
I think of pure photography in terms of an MX with a LCD on the back and
very little more. I understand that others can think of the Df as pure
photography.
Pity it lacks some basic characteristics of classic SLR's, such as 0.95x
viewfinder and split image.
In other words, I see the Df as a disguised modern DSLR pretending to be a
classic reborn.

It doesn't look very complicated to me. The dials on the top are what you'd
see on a high-end late pre-electronics era camera. The buttons on the back
are what you need to use a digital camera. Seems like quite a rational
layout to me.

In my opinion, that is a pretty sweet looking camera, especially in
silver. Maybe the rumors of an LX-style Pentax camera aren't too far
off?
