Response to: Abstractions Don't Leak


Agreeing with the comments made by ocean, abstractions cannot be compared by simply isolating them from the problem and goals they are designed to achieve. Objective of a framework (incomplete abtraction) is essentially to build a platform for creation of different objects within the same domain. On the other hand interface for a single utility class has more to do with providing methods for triggering that specific utility function. How general or specific that interface is designed greatly depends upon the problem in context.
