Is animating a series as difficult as it used to be?

Question

You look back and when watching a movie it would seem choppy and obvious that there was editing involved.

Current times and with technology however, it seeems so easy to draw a cartoon episode or even edit movies.

My main question here is : Just how difficult is it to make a cartoon in modern times and a possible comparision to how long it took to design older shows?

Thanks for your time
