I think this raises another point. An apples-to-apples comparison is only possible if you can do both yourself. If you're not a coder, then you're comparing creating a spreadsheet with managing coding. And the latter is even more difficult to learn than coding itself.

I'm in the middle ground -- can code until the cows come home, but can't manage a coding project to save my life. I am extremely sympathetic when someone has to manage me coding. I'm always thinking to myself: How can I avoid turning this into a nightmare for them?
