I dont think the internalization principle holds up in todays life when the number of devices / tools / software we use is exploding. In a slower moving world with few tools there was an incentive to mastering the tools and then exploiting your skill. I personally find it useful to partition tools into two categories - the ones that I want to think about and the rest that I want to use without much thought.

Those who regularly use tools like word processors and spreadsheets are an in-between situation where either paradigm could be better depending on how and how much they use their particular tools.
