100% this - I've spent many years feeling like I'm one abstraction away from having a killer library that would get me the initial crud based app done in a single line of code... I've never actually managed it - the edge cases mean I end up chasing my tail around instead of "just coding the app". Now I use small libraries for individual parts (like menus and forms) but even then 50% of the app becomes special edge case forms anyway. Accepting that the job is to just implement the spec and not invent a rube goldberg machine is an important lesson to absorb.
