May be. I have a different perspective - I'm now supporting a legacy NodeJS project which would desperately need more abstraction, but the original author was really into "getting things done" mentality and didn't think about future maintainer (me) at all. Magic strings, implicit hierarchies, code duplucation, different entity id scheme on client and server with hackish "translations"... I would give a lot for my project to have a little more of this Java "Enterprise" style right now.
