Full Stack JavaScript v2 Techdegree Graduate 23,612 PointsPageCloud claims they will make the use of Web Developers redundant
So these new guys offering a similar web service to Wix claims that they will make the use of web developers unnecessary and redundant, yet they build their customers websites with flash. I would like to hear some thoughts on this please!

Courses Plus Student 5,859 PointsIt will be a LONG time before web developer's get replaced! Even web designers, just because you have a tool that makes it as simple as drag and drop doesn't mean it will make you creative. LOL

4,597 PointsAbsolutely! Designers will also still be important because we find new interface methods that make our tools more useful all the time. It's trending towards overall user experience design as well so not just "is this pleasing to the eye" but is the overall experience pleasing to the brain.

But from the looks it won't replace web developers. Probably not even web designers.
Maybe just make their job easier.
