Does erudite carry positive or negative or neutral connotation?

I received a comment on my writing style from a mathematician a while ago

Why not try for direct active voice and stop trying to make it sound erudite?

One Answer

It is an entirely positive word. An attempt to sound affectedly erudite, on the other hand -- that is bad.
