Is there any of these higher level languages that doesn't add its own accidental complexity? (essential complexity being the one included in the core logic of the solution to the problem).

They usually have their own jargon/terminology and concepts to learn.

So they just move the goal posts...

No, I don't think it's just moving the goal posts if the difference between learning one or the other tool is measured in years.

But I think it depends on what sorts of problems and solutions we're talking about. I don't believe for a second that all types of software can be created with this sort of end-user oriented wysiwyg + expressions tool.
