I'm very pessimistic of these types of products. Mostly because there have been ideas to do this for around 40 years. In the end any non-trivial business logic is too cumbersome to make in a GUI and is build much faster in text form ( programming language) or just can't be made with your platform. At that point it requires specialization and your need for a programmer is born.

But, as you wrote, this stuff has been around for decades. And that's because there are lots of people that can do real work with these tools, but aren't otherwise willing to pay the (pretty) steep costs to get up to speed using the 'pro' programming tools.
