Data Abstraction obsolete

Is data abstraction obsolete now that the STL exists?

    STL did not make anything obsolet -- it just gave you another option.

    definitely agree. The definition of data abstraction is, itself, a bit abstract. It depends on the app, the data, what you're going to do with that data, etc. STL is great for what it is. And it solves a lot of problems. But I often find myself creating composites of STL containers and other custom container classes. So it's not the end-all, be-all for data. But it's a great tool.
