It's not that complicated. It's masked api. Once you know the API it's very simple to convert the pymel. Indeed the number of people who read the mel is more and more reduced. I can translate or write the mel but I do not like to use it so much :) With the nodal I find the expressions less and less useful, but parse an ascii file is indispensable in maya. The number of times we had big problem and the only solution was to take the file ascii ... I even saw scripts that allowed to render a binary file in ascii. They are not very clean but it saves your life. I did not look too much at the 2017 version yet. The few tests I have done have ended in crash and the long-awaited optimization is far from the expectations of users ...
