On the contrary, we've been trying to simplify programming since a programmers job was to string wires between transistors, we hit the local maximum in the 70's and every single attempt since then to simplify things or point and clickify things has been an abject failure. Every programmer will at some point try to build a system that allows users to add their own fields, rules, etc. We try to program ourselves out of a job and fail.
