You're right about end-to-end control. But, my point is I don't see the future of web development consisting of 3rd party PaaS services.

Are you saying you'd pay for Apiary to debug HTTP requests? How did you solve this issue before? There are many open source libraries to do exactly this.

I just can't imagine a future where development tooling consists of subscription to a bunch of disparate services.

New Relic, Exceptional/Airbrake, SendGrid/Mandrill, Codeship/CircleCI, Github, etc. You can do all of those on your own, but we pay for all these services quite often. Apiary may not be your cup of tea, but I think people will pay for it.
