Somehow I don't think physical laborers ever complain when they get new and more powerful tools to make their job easier.
It's only software engineers that bemoan their lives getting easier, so they can spend more time working on other problems higher up the abstraction chain.
The 'problems higher up the abstraction chain' are the ones that are closer to labour, or factory work. Mundane and repetitive, relatively speaking easy - requiring less thought and being to die extent trainable as working within a pattern/template.
