I strongly agree. I usually express this as "minimizing complexity", but I like the "guiding through context changes" phrasing.

One of the best things about humans is how easy it is for us to work at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously, as long as we're guided to and between them properly. Good code - hell, good engineering - exploits this to create things which otherwise wouldn't fit in a person's head.
