You are completely right: finding "THE RIGHT" level of abstraction is extremely important. Without abstractions we would be writing code in Assembly.
This is the reason I used the term "overly complex abstractions", not just "abstractions" in general, of course. Overly complex meaning it's a failure to use "the right abstraction" where you instead go for something much more complex than the proble called for... this is what I understand most people in this thread are referring to when they refer to previous Scala projects they've worked on.
