Hiding complexity is almost the whole point of most programming languages and a big reason why most of the popular library and frameworks exist. Computer programs are fiendishly complex things, and they're only getting more so as time goes on (now we have several independent processors doing complex things simultaneously in the service of even larger complex things). A lot of software is so big that even most of its components are too much to fit in your head at once. So I think hiding complexity is a pretty sensible goal.
