Yeah, definitely. I guess my point was that converting natural language to source code can be even more valuable for people who don't know how to code, but want to perform actions more complicated than a simple button press. For example, I often find myself doing regex based find-and-replace-alls in text files, and even that feels inefficient while also being over the head of the vast majority of users. I'd imagine there are a lot of people out there spending many hours manually editing documents and spreadsheets.
