Aren't all the tools we use to build websites essentially an intermediate layer? Unless you're writing byte code of course. I work at a product company so don't have the issue of setting up project after project, but I can see that becoming a pain if it's not automated.
You're totally right that both tools have their place though!
Imagine it like a sandwich. I like bread & cheese. Maybe a touch of butter. Fresh, warm organic bread. Simple, reliable. Focus on the cheese which was from cows that live in the mountains above the mosquito line.

Some people prefer a little more filling.

Each to their own (somewhere in between is usually good).
