There used to be a difference between scripters and programmers. I'm a scripter, and it feels similar to learning a natural language and writing essays in it. In other words, it's easy and doesn't require any mathematical skill.
There are low-level programmers who do things similar to other sciences involving math, and my brain wouldn't be able to do that.
So if you're talking about scripting, which I think most people do, then I agree it isn't difficult.
