The abstractions elevate Elisp to new levels, and from there,
they make it easier for everyone else writing code not having
to do on the level of very basic building blocks. Relying on
wizards to juggle and combine basics like crazy to achieve
wonders isn't the way computer technology has been moving
forward, on the contrary that has been done by moving
complexity into modules and providing neat interfaces so
people only have to master the interfaces, not the details
what happens below that to carry out the desired task.
