The line between the two isn't very clear, nor is it productive to really argue about it, IMO

- Nevermark 5y agoIt was still a good question! There is a line between a tool: A) that makes managing relevant information more efficient, while not hiding any of that information. B) vs. a tool that hides some details, providing a tradeoff of higher productivity MOST of the time, but at the cost of requiring a fall back tool on other (rare?) occasions. I would say, once a tool stops providing access to any (even rarely) relevant details, it has become an abstraction.
