It's still programming, just a trying to be nice. Here and there it makes programming worse by e.g. not being very object oriented sometimes, but overall it always tries to make everything as high level as possible.
High level programming languages on top of low level ones have been a hit ever since. The day I can plug together APIs and basic user management will be great: Make default user UI with login, profile, picture, make a twitter-style feed where everyone can subscribe to others. This I imagine possible within a day.
Ideally you also wrap some APIs for me so I can e.g. take my existing twitter feed and do stuff with it. We are not too far from all that, but if you want to do one custom step you are back at jumping in to a lower level and need to build components yourself and it's just even more annoying :).
It also has a way better chance with narrow use cases and is very successful there: chat bot builders, configuration of headless CMS admin UIs, analytics tools, KNIME even try machine learning and it looks wonderful.
