There's a lot of truth in this. Getting the uninitiated to the point of solving problems is not a bad thing, per se, but too much of that creates cargo cult programmers, and that is a very bad thing. And very common. If your goal to solve a problem, then you should use something that helps you solve that problem quickly. If your goal to learn how to solve problems, then you probably shouldn't. Those are both valid use cases, but they are very different.
