I've noticed that when software lets nonprogrammers do programmer things, it makes the programmers nervous. Suddenly they stop smiling indulgently and start talking about what “real programming” is.
The programmers are concerned that this will end up on their lap after a half assed job is passed off to them because it doesn't work right anymore. Since it wasn't done using a proper language or documented they will have to go through several meetings to get procedures in order and rebuild it from scratch. Bonus points if a single employee does the design work and when they leave no one has a clue what was done or how anything works.
