The side effect of such products (that I have to love day to day with) is that it really devaluates the work done by software developers when it needs to be done by someone of the trade. When a client comes with a feature request and I say "that'll be 10 days, sir", many scoff at the value and don't understand why, pointing at how easy and quick it is to do A or B in Z assisted development system, glossing over even the skin-deep details. That said I am totally in favor of the "in 2020 most programmers won't be engineers, they'll be [whatever trade uses programming as a tool]". Empowering the users should be the number one goal of every system builder, whether it is via simpler systems (as seen on mobile), more accessible interfaces (from colorblind to sensory to kinetic disabilities), or powerful coding (R, NumPy, iPython, Matlab, Mathematica...) or non-coding (Hypercard...) environments.
