The spell casting isn’t something I’ve felt myself, but I’ve absolutely heard it from other people watching me type apparent line noise into a weird dark window with nothing but text in an alien language in it.
Non-technical people in general understand neither bash nor vim, and they use their computers within the fixed constraints of the software they buy, unable to go beyond those constraints by themselves. When we make the computer do something completely new, they’re like: how are you changing the reality in front of our eyes with nothing but words?!
On the other hand, I can’t build a house, but when I watch others build one, it never looks incomprehensible to me. So yeah I think spell casting is actually not that bad in terms of comparisons.
