Even that needs a lot of work.

Okay, so I can create "connections" on an "if this then that" basis. I need more examples of the sorts of thises and thats that I can use as input and output, though. Like, apparently I can control my home appliances? And... what else?

Really? The second heading on the page clearly gives five examples with an obvious link to 46 more.
Why do I need another website to do Twitter, Facebook, Evernote, Email, or Weather? I already have apps that do whatever it is those things are.

No, the page in question does have 1 really good example, the if Instagram then Dropbox example. I think the homepage of IFTT would benefit from a nice animation where the "this" and "then" options cycle through various options. It would show how any tigger can be combined with any action and highlight a few of the good use cases.
