I suppose I get where the sentiment is coming from and anybody can use whichever tools make them happy but I feel like the comparison doesn’t make too much sense to me. As programmers we leverage so many levels of abstraction that help us write better code. It feels similar to saying if you use some package or library you’re letting some library author do the painting for you. Or if you use a high level language instead of assembly you’re letting a compiler do the painting for you.
