Some of these articles miss the point: very often an expensive complication comes in order to solve a problem that otherwise would have been much lengthier or expensive to solve.
Just as an example: everyone would agree that react is more. Implied than jquery as it has more levels of indirections and abstractions, but it’s strong point has never been to show the cleverness of its authors but to solve state management issues and implement a serie of features otherwise not reachable from previous paradigms. Also for loops where more complex than gotos as they require state (invariant), but today for loops and other forms of loops are widely understood and teach during formal education.
New abstractions and indirections aren’t always necessary and when put in place they need additional documentation and training, but nothing of that was mention in the article.
