You think it is harder because you are not familiar with the depth of non-developer workflows. Developer hubris.

Indeed! Compare to CAD or Photoshop for deep, complex workflows.
I was wondering about this -- but how would CAD or Photoshop be more than a Context Free language? In particular, consider Feature Structure Grammars which are equivalent to CFGs and can really capture a lot of inter-context agreement without needing to be Context-Sensitive.

I certainly may be wrong though, all sorts of stuff ends up being Turing-Complete.

They can be, and afaict, are, typed context sensitive languages.
