If I have learned anything in decades of developing is that adding layers never short times or make life easier

So you went back to writing assembly...?

If someone suggests that 9 layers is perhaps a touch too many, that doesn't imply that the correct solution is necessarily go back to one layer.

Pick one.

Anyway when people say they don't like abstraction layers what they mean is always they don't like abstraction layers except their favorite ones.

I'm willing to consider there being a happy medium. That doesn't mean more is always better, and it doesn't mean that this particular one is good.
