I'm a developer but use N8N. One reason is not having to build and maintain integrations with lots of API:s for workflows that are just run once in a while. Like building an integration with Slack that will get data from 5 API:s and save it in google sheets and send you an email.

That would require writing lots of code while here it is much easier with N8N. Anything complicated or needing lots of useage I would go for programming
