As a counter anecdote I can tell you that all of the ops-people I worked with, they gladly switched from Puppet and Chef to Ansible, specifically because it was less programming and more shell-like.
Not that this is good or bad, but I think that's why Ansible took off with the traditional operations-teams.

People do all kinds of shit with programming languages. There's tons of good ways to tackle a problem. And exponentially many more bad ways to tackle a problem. Having a given repeated form makes interpreting & understanding Ansible far easier than the alternatives.
