IMO, Zapier is a little different because it's connecting disparate APIs.

Disclaimer: I work for Zapier.

Ah yes true. My point was really that any tool can generate complexity, it's all about the underlying problem you're trying to solve.

Yeah, I think Zapier is one of if not the only example I've come across in my software dev career of a low-code-type tool that devs will reach for before doing stuff by hand.

Great example of where low-code is a better alternative for a very narrow use case of development.
