Programming by extension focuses software design on reuse. Yes, it eases
writing, just because reuse reduces the amount of code. However it also
requires more upfront design, considered bad by some.
As for reading, I completely disagree. There is nothing more unreadable
than cut'n'pasted code, which is the only alternative to reuse. And by the
way, generics is the least readable Ada feature.
