Absolutely agree on this one with you. We are working on similar product http://elastic.io and it's clear that in this business (IFTTT, Zapier, elastic.io, FoxWeave.com, etc) you need to work on two customers - business customers who pay and developers who are platform multipliers. That's the reason Zapier and IFTTT are trying to open up. Important is however business users (who pay) do not need 'developers' view on things, they don't need the 'flexibility' and complexity that developers needed, so essentially it's two different products. Think AppStore/App - Xcode.
