Not necessarily. Encapsulation can, and many times does, only hides the complexity. If you
find yourself deep into some foundational object classes doing debugging, it may be very
difficult to do. Nothing has changed there. Debugging someone else's code is still difficult.
Only if you're working at a high abstraction level and everything underneath that level is
working well will maintenance be easier. It's a skill think rather than a technology thing.
