I find that all of these discussions are rendered somewhat goofy by our very binary view of "programming" and "not programming."

It's like asking -- "will robots be good for building things?"

Sure, some things. What things?

Personally, I'm hoping for the revival of the idea that Hypercard was intended for; yes, let us enable EVERYONE to build little tools for themselves.

It will enable more people, but "everyone" is never, ever going to happen.

This is both because (1) many people don't want to do this, no matter how easy it is -- probably the primary reason and (2) many people won't have the ability to do this in a way that is net profitable for them, because their "tool ideas" just won't be good.

Lol lets get real. Most people want to live life and switch off their brain.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that - you can't fight what the body wants instinctively.
