COBOL was created to be easy to program in, it was meant to be understood by finance/business people at a glance, along the lines of "what if computer programs read like English?" that SQL was going for.
However, this meant that the people actually writing the software lacked the necessary tools for writing large-scale maintainable software, leading to spaghetti hell.
The long-term lesson learned from COBOL is that it is more important to optimize for the people writing the code than the people who determine requirements. I would say that Python got this balance right: easy enough to read for non-programmers, but still expressive enough to write anything in. It became the language of scientists for a reason.

Now version control is the first thing on my mind when writing anything more complicated than a one-off script.
