The fewer layers you stack the fewer potential sources of bugs and
instabilities you have, the fewer features get lost, the fewer
resources you consume.

Minimizing the levels of abstractions is always a good idea. 

(Of course, this is true everywhere -- except in in KDE. There, other
rules apply: the more abstraction layers the better. And the mere
existance of an additional abstraction layers in itself is already a
benefit that trumps everything else.)
