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.)
