A good way to reduce complexity is to directly solve problems in the language of the domain expert using the right abstraction level. This can be done ideally using domain specific languages (also known as DSL's).
Textual DSL's as provided by XText as part of openarchitectureware or later by TCS in Eclipse are excellent choices for scenarios where the domain experts are text centric. A textual DSL allows the domain expert to create and manipulate models just using a simple text editor or with a custom editor in Eclipse if automatic checking and some further support like syntax highlighting are desired.
