This is is pretty dated view: the "system things" are rarely in the
picture. But they are as fine to touch as any, as long as that fits the
abstraction you are defining.
The difference between system programmers and application programmers, I
think, is the latter have found that abstractions are a good thing for a
lot of domains, and have come up with certain rules for using them.
I can certainly understand how a system programmer might dislike having
to deal with extra abstractions, but, again, certain jobs simply call
for using them.
