Not necessarily unpopular in the traditional sense, but things are not always black and white. There's the "it depends" opinion that can be lost in the cracks or I'm just hypothesizing here, but maybe some developers do not want to take the "it depends" stance.

For example, keep it DRY. A lot of discussion has been happening around this the past few days. These are just some Tweets I found

I'll leave you with Jay Phelps Tweet because it made me laugh. We got a whole lot in the toolbelt. 😉

And in the end, all the above leads us to healthy discussions hopefully, like finding the right abstraction which is a good thing.
