I'm not decrying abstractions. I am the biggest proponent of abstractions on the planet. What I disagree with is the tendency to use the same monstrous framework for every project, regardless of size, scope, and purpose. And part of my complaint is that the abstractions don't always abstract anything. Some of them just rename things for the sake of style. That may or may not be a bad thing, but I don't think the average developer even gives this any consideration. If anything, the fact that you're passionate enough to actually leave a comment about the article generally points to the fact that you're not one of the people that needs to hear this sort of lesson. :D
