finding the right setup is a nightmare because you're stuck choosing btwn simple no-code builders and massive enterprise platforms that are way too complex for most of us. i finally narrowed it down to 10 options that actually work w/o needing an entire it department. most of these are overkill if you just want to sync a spreadsheet does anyone else find the api-heavy stuff completely unusable?

the api-heavy stuff is a nightmare once u hit a rate limit. ive been sticking to make lately because it feels a bit more intuitive than the enterprise junk, but even that gets messy when u need custom logic.

lowkey the idea that api-heavy tools are unusable is a stretch if you actually know how to map a basic json response. most of the friction comes from bad documentation rather than the complexity itself. i used to struggle with it too, but once i started using postman to test endpoints before touching any automation builder, the whole process became way more predictable. it's mostly just a matter of patience . if you only stick to pre-built connectors, you're eventually going to hit a wall where no "simple" tool supports your specific niche software. did you test any of the self-hosted options like n8n in your list?
