I’m legitimately unsure about the differences in complexity, actually. Quadratic Voting throws a bunch of upfront complexity at you, and forces you to deal with it. The impemntation of1-4-9 is secretly somewhat complex in that the exact value of your votes varies based on how many votes you cast of varying strengths.
I expect sometime-this-month to build UI that shows you what the actual value of your votes on hover-over, so you have a bit more visibility into what’s going on, but it’d still be a bit opaque and probably require more overall effort to “truly” understand than quadratic voting.
Counterpoint: the quadratic voting mechanism was difficult to understand, and confusing. 1-4-9 is simple.
