There are a lot of great things computer scientists did in the beginning to make it easy for use to write code. And I know the computer scientists of today are doing things to make it easier.
The problem with your question is that your focusing on the word 'science'. Math, Physics, Biology, and other sciences tend to increase in difficulty as the general knowledge increases. More discoveries equals more knowledge.
Computer Science is more akin to Music, Art and Literature. Its something Humans created to advance Humans. These things all get easier when methods for creating Music, Art, and Literature get easier. These things are not searching for a truth, or one great theory or proofs. They search for beauty, elegance, and a pleasing aesthetic for humans.
Computer Science is called science cause it involves math, physics and history but really the act of programming is akin to art or literature then actually researching.
Think of it this way. How hard was it 200 years ago to pick up and learn a musical instrument? How hard is it now? Programming used to be more difficult now what languages are becoming more popular? Ruby, Python, Java, and C# these are simple languages with simple syntax allowing you to do very powerful techniques that where hard before.
