Generally Classical mechanics is way more complicated mathematically than Quantum Mechanics. The issue with Quantum mechanics is its counter intuitive physical implications.
Also many people think Quantum Mechanical effects only apply to the microscopic or atomic world - this is a miss reading of the theory. QM effects apply at all scales, but at large scales these effects are not noticeable and "drowned out" by other effects such as Gravity etc.
It will be interesting to see if human creativity and genius can discover a deterministic theory of the atomic domain. As it stands the experimental evidence in support of Quantum Physics is vast and as yet contains no counter evidence (tmk).
The field of Physics is very fortunate in that it deals with the simplest aspects of reality. Physics is by far the most idealistic and simplistic of scientific endeavors. Physicist often tend to hide behind mathematical axioms and dogmatic rhetoric which isn't necessarily a negative thing - but it does result in a very simplistic and easy scientific discipline. The jump in complexity from Physics to Chemistry is huge - and an equally huge jump occurs when one moves into Biology (and forget about trying to understand Psychology or economics - these are the realms where educated guess work becomes equally important as theory)
