Where the design community meets.

It's absolutely overkill for a solo-designer.
Well I cautioned "probably" because I use it myself for personal projects. Speaking in absolutes makes some large assumptions my friend :)
it's interesting that you say 'absolutely'... I used it for about a year as a solo designer, and not once felt it was overkill. I Absolutely love what it did to my workflow, and have since then added my entire product team on to abstract.
I wouldn't say absolutely. Version control is something design has been needing for a long time. It has been a fantastic add to my process. The way they integrate libraries is really awesome too.

I think I understand your sentiment, but I wouldn't call it complexity. It's more process oriented for sure. If you're working solo, it's probably overkill if you want to just get work done.
But for my team, it has been extremely helpful to track progress and allow non-design folk into the process.
