"the driver is now much simpler and similar to other drivers, instead of being the very specific and complicated cake of layers"

I love this, because to me it implies that the piece of hardware (ie. a chip and its surrounding implementation) has better chances to shine on its own as hardware and not leveled to other similar hardware just by a software development method, which does not directly produce any good to me.
