Some might consider me part of the "second group", but I'm perfectly fine with abstractions and I create them all the time. I do however have a problem with indirections that don't really abstract anything and only exist for aesthetical reasons. Not every function/method is an "abstraction". Having too many one-line methods is as bad as pretending that functions with 2k/3k lines are appropriate in all cases.
