Well, given that Squarespace/Wix/Weebly etc. are selling Dreamweaver-as-a-service (plus hosting), I would say there's a lot of demand still. Pinegrow seems like it would cater to someone slightly more technical (since you need to figure deploying/hosting), but not willing to entirely learn the frontend stuff just to make a simple site. I have plenty of sympathy with that, it's better than going with WordPress for a four-page brochure site, at least.

It's definitely a useful tool for more technical oriented people too. Someone would definitely need to have his/her front-end chops in place to work with Pinegrow without frameworks.
