I'm of two minds on this, I both agree and disagree. Once a code base is a certain size, explicit but bigger can be a boon. Magic dynamic dispatch systems and other tools that simplify plumbing make onboarding and routine, drive-by maintenance way harder IME. I find that once you understand systems that have a dash of "magic", though, it is easier to add features and stuff. Single points of maintenance and all that. It's a continuum, with each side having different benefits.
