I admit that I have never programmed a mecanum drive, but I dont see it being easy to program. Sure, maybe the basic movements are simple, however I have seen few mechanum drive robots that are controlled effectively. This tells me that either the drivers dont know how to reap the benefits of a mecanum drive, or that the drive code is not up to par.
I programmed an omni drive robot in 08, and by no means was it easy, and it was nowhere near as controllable as I hoped.
