The AWS cdk is a pretty good example of how nice it is to have actual code doing the things. People know JS and know how to use it & it's imminently flexible.

By compare every dsl requires learning some new language. The languages seem to grow and grow. I know plenty of people with a little bit of Terraform experience, but almost no one with extensive knowledge. It's great that surfing along the top works as well as it does, and having such a confined language keeps a normativeness, but in general I so strongly feel it's just better to use available known well supported tools.
