>We should not bifurcate developers into two camps as the reality exists in a continuum between these two extremes.

This is presented without justification as if it must be true. But is it?

My view is that you absolutely should have different worlds. You can then limit the number of people and the amount of code using foot gun prone constructs to a very small minority, and instead provide higher level abstractions. I'd absolutely hate to see code that looks like Boost on the business layer of an application.
