Who wants to be a programmer? Microsoft is hoping everyday folks will take the challenge by using its non-professional programming tools, and other vendors are following suit. Microsoft is poised to tap the nascent market for development tools to enable non-professionals to create applications, having established a team specifically built for this push and planning several initiatives, including a new Web site strictly for beginners.

IMHO "normal" people shouldn't even be allowed to make webpages. My god, look how ugly some of them are, it's just ridiculous.
I can't imagine why programs should be any better and if they can write code themselves it *will* be bug-ridden. I'm just glad i won't be doing support on that stuff
Don't know where I was going with this other than I just think that this is a bad idea. Really bad. (and no, I'm not afraid I'll be out of a job because of this).
On the bright side, it might make them appreciate the complexity of the work we do.
