I've never been a heavy MS Excel or MS Access user but those kinds of tools still are - after many years - clearly democratising computing. The notion of pushing this a bit further by thinking "frameworks" is very much worthwhile and maybe the "correction" to an ever more "consumerist" internet.

I always admired IFTT - you could probably think of it as more of a framework.

Does anyone know of more projects like it or ones with an even less intuitive angle towards solving this problem?

The question is this: how can we essentially put ourselves "out of our jobs" by providing a generalised "framework" in a not-traditional sense (so that we can work on even more interesting stuff;) ?
