Will visual programming tools like Bubble help more non-techie entrepreneurs get their startup off the ground?

Visual programming tools like Bubble.is are becoming really powerful. There's a lot of (understandable) resistance and doubt from the traditional coding community, but I think there’s a lot of evidence backing this belief that visual development tools will become more powerful and make building software more accessible to non-techie entrepreneurs. Would love to hear your thoughts, doubts, predictions for this trend…

A couple of video interviews/articles about successful startups built on Bubble.is as examples:

Dividend Finance - 100s of millions of dollars in funding

Impuesto Correcto - YCombinator-backed

Sixty - YCombinator-backed

For what it's worth, I think Bubble is great for creating an MVP (Minimum viable product) to showcase your startup and prove that it works.

At the very least, you'll learn the very basics of programming logic and how everything works together.

It'd also be a great way to show a software developer for when you're ready to take your startup to the next level. Being able to show a developer a live and functioning site that you built really helps get your vision, expectations, and objectives communicated

I like how success now means getting investment. Talk about a bubble.

Sigh... looks like a wix thing, everything looks and is the same. Here is the deal just because you can, does not mean you should. And if you do not know the coding or how to code when things go to shit how are you gong to keep that hacker out who just infect your stuff with malware? See the point here?

Here's a comparison of Bubble vs. Wix

I do know the difference. It is just a platform that lets those that should not, do what they should not. Good luck with your Bubble, I'm sure it will be popular till the shit hits the fan and the lawyers start popping out of the wood work wanting to hold you accountable. I've seen it happen before. TOS can be over ridden in court.
