That is what's called a leaky abstraction.

Think, how often do you write a javascript code and think to yourself to debug it by understanding the underlying assembler code. I'd guess it's nil.

But abstractions to html leaks a lot.

Leaky abstractions are never good as now you have to think about your cool framework and the underlying library.
