I saw FileMaker - don't remember whether it was "Pro" - briefly, a few years ago. It seems to me that it is more oriented towards the end-user (like Access, but more primitive). The version I have seen didn't have a proper programming language - everything had to be done with functions. Quite limited for a professional programmer. This may have changed with more recent versions, of course.
