Saying that LangChain removes the value of learning to write prompts sounds to me like saying that the existence of ORMs removes the value of learning SQL.
I never said langchain "removes the value of learning to write prompts". My point is it abstracts it out enough that not everyone working with LLMs will need to know how to do it at a very high level. Just like most programmers can't write assembly/C, but we have tools which abstract it out so that experts can write/generate it for us. I don't know about SQL and ORM to respond to your analogy.

No that SQL has no value, but this is exactly what ORMs do for a lot of people. They stay in their language instead of having to learn SQL (not saying this is ideal).
