When I read what you wrote it seems like the opposite is true. When programming isn't hard it is done right. Using higher level abstractions is not "golden bullet". If it is easier to have repetition and it easier to do find and replace and maintain and change code, why even make an abstraction? Just like true developers write all their code in notepad and real developers etch bits on disk with magnetic needles.
