As has been pointed out already, this is yet another round of an old paradigm. Just like every other shortcut (looking at you, frameworks) it comes down to LEGOs (or Minecraft). As long as you are satisfied with blocks world, they are great. As soon as you need a curved surface or a different color, you are out of luck. There's also that detail that someone has to write all that code so you don't have to.
