I have some experience in this area, I'm the main author of 3 programming frameworks targeting this (two created for two failed startups ). Now, I got great results like doing 4 products in an year ( with hundreds of concepts, database tables, complex processes) with only 2 programmers. An visible speed improvement but still was not the case that non programmers could program easily. Because of financial constraints we abandoned the creation of the GUI for creating apps and used the framework (targeting Flex/Flash ). Now, I outsourced an MVVM framework for JS (https://github.com/salboaie/SwarmShape https://github.com/salboaie/SwarmShape) that is created with an architecture that serve the purpose of having visual UI to speed up the development. There is no GUI and tools but the framework is constructed to make tooling possible. I see such UI behave like better spreadsheets usable for creation of simple apps (using reusable components and simple scripting) by intelligent people having only a few days of training. It is feasible, only the business aspects should be clarified. If you want an discussion on this topics, feel free to contact me. salboaie@gmail.com
