I completely agree with this. Nothing is more frustrating as a beginner than getting confused and not even knowing what questions to ask.
When you introduce concepts such as addressing/pointers(which are typically in hexadecimal) and memory management you add many more moving parts to the mix. In my opinion, abstracting a lot of this stuff away helps lower the number of opportunities on which a beginner can get caught up.
