I don't think of either VB or Flash as being in any way 'non-programmer'. VB has tools to eliminate a lot of the more mechanical aspects of GUI programming, but in the end you're still writing a form of BASIC to make it actually do anything. Likewise for Flash and ActionScript.
If anything, these both go to my point. They are very much programmer tools, they just lower the bar to getting something on the screen so you can get to the hard parts of programming sooner. If you aren't computer literate, or refuse to become computer literate, you still won't get anything done with either of them.
