DRY is great guideline. KISS is another one. I find that it is not uncommon for the two of them to butt heads a little, and it can be tricky to find the correct balance. In general, I am finding that I favour repetition over abstraction more and more.

Couldn't agree more. If the code is going to be maintained by someone less experienced then KISS certainly is more helpful than DRY.
