Experience is not highly valued in articles about programming but often it comes down to that. I'm using tools with roughly the same level of expressiveness as I have for the last 20 years but I develop much better code now.

I've been guilty of over-abstraction and I've been guilty of under-abstraction.

There's a lot of blaming the tool for what amounts to lack of experience. Everyone has lacked that experience at some point in their career.
