This whole thing is a terrible idea.

1) There's going to be a whole slew of poorly designed and developed apps out there - AKA Maintenance nightmare
2) Template-driven?? Sounds like Yahoo Page Builder
3) Those of us who are proefessionals could loose work to someone who's got little to no experience just because they can put together an 'app' in much less time.
4) "... it constitutes an act of condescension toward domain-expert developers." I agree completely

I'v got a bad feeling about this
