To me, the problem with IFTTT and other 'do programming without actually programming!' tools are this: unless you're serving an extremely narrow goal, I want a programming language! Even something as non-programmer as taking notes - what if I want some notes automatically added/removed/modified depending on what happens elsewhere in the world? I need a programming language! Almost no problem is too trivial to not want a programming language attached to it which begs the question - why don't we already have it? I hope the answer is quite simply that we've been so focused on new hardware, that software is lagging behind. There are more sinister possibilities but I'd err on the side of nobody having made it a priority because most people think small by default.
