I feel like the "from you" is what makes this sentence awkward. With the "from you", both sentences read awkwardly. Without the "from you", both versions seem fine. Maybe the correct fix here is to remove the "from you" rather than moving the "away".

Thoughts @zpao?

After some searching, "abstracts away [the DOM]" seems more popular - would "abstracts the DOM away" make more sense?
