Airtable's pitch (a database that feels like a spreadsheet) is genuinely compelling when it works. Views, automations, and the interface designer enable powerful workflows. The problem: the gap between 'this is a nice spreadsheet' and 'this is a powerful app platform' creates confusion about what Airtable even is. Enterprise features have added layers that the core interaction model wasn't designed to support.
What earns the score

- +Automation builder is powerful for non-technical users
