Yeah, I dont know. For me, it's all a moot point. The biggest hurdle to understanding devices on the beaglebone, is first understanding the hardware period. Then you need to understand the subsystems for each device type - On Linux. After that, device trees, and device tree overlays all start to make sense. Device tree files after all are only hardware descriptions.
Anyway, to answer your question, about universal IO. No I don't have a problem with it at all. But at some point, you'll realize that universal IO is a generic set of device tree overlays, with a tool(config-pin) to make pix muxing much simplier. e.g. an abstraction layer. At some point, you may actually find yourself not wanting to use it. For me, part of my nature is that I *have* to understand how things work, after which sometimes things may become redundant. . .
