Huginn is great, but I wish it was easier to chain stuff together. Node RED has an awesome UI, but the building blocks are aimed at something else entirely.

Scrapers of sites that involve some conversion of data. The main gripe is that you can't modify a flow of agents in a single interface, so adjusting stuff involves a lot of going back and forth.
