Scroll Kit is a polished, advanced tool to put creative tools in the hands of lay people. There's room for that in the marketplace. (Weebly etc. are already doing it, but still, the beta is slick and a job well done.)
But man, it reminds me of Apple's Pages, which my mother used in December to create THE WORLD'S UGLIEST HOLIDAY NEWSLETTER. When I got it, I was actually embarrassed, wondering what hundreds of other people were thinking when they got it (look at this - has P. been drinking?). I would much, much rather she asked me for some help and allowed me to guide her to a) a better result and b) a rudimentary understanding of how the tool she's using works.
tl;dr - startups shouldn't settle for making something possible for their users - they should make it their mission to help their users become _awesome_ at something.
