True, my concern is more that people will just stop with the CRUD app.
Geocities did some good for letting people having their own page. But the HTML was horrendous, and left many thinking they're doing amazing stuff. I don't really want to see that repeated.
The problem, however, is at the developer level and not the tool level, I suppose.
I wouldn't worry about people "stopping". As long as companies have use-it-or-lose-it budgets, they'll find a way to spend the money somewhere.
And as for geocities, untrained people putting content out there for the rest of the world to see was pretty amazing stuff at the time, even without semantic web concepts in place.
