Are the cobol devs from the past the equivalent of the modern day vbs and excel script persons?
No, they were writing the typical corporate applications - an interface to enter data into a database, or to run a query and generate some nicely formatted output. They were the equivalent of a modern day webdev.
You can still get a lot done being a scripting guru for an organization. I view it less as a specialized role and more of something nearly all employees should be able to do now of a technical company.
