This is the natural consequence of pursuing popularity by making things
accessible to the lowest common denominator.  You can't say it's wrong
-- because without it, the programming industry wouldn't be anywhere
near where it is today.

But OTOH, some aspects of programming are inherently hard, and no matter
what you do, you simply cannot remove the necessity of thought about
your programming problem.
