I'm reminded a bit of systemd. Whatever their problems, when things went south, it was usually fairly easy for someone who could code to walk through the init scripts involved and figure it out. The config files of systemd at first glance look quite simple and declarative, but if things don't work, one almost immediately slams into a wall of complexity. Sometimes one doesn't "need" a coder because the system is such that it wouldn't do you any good anyway.
