I'm confused.. non-developers writing JS and CSS? This scares the bejesus outta me.
There's so many movements urging people to learn to code right now, I don't see how this is surprising anymore. Yes, physicians and economists can write JavaScript too, and if their JS isn't the ultimate prettiest code, but if it works for their purposes, then so what? That's a net gain.
And it's not very easy to cause a major security bug when writing code that runs client-side and usually only in response to user action. Most gadgets don't, say, parse untrusted input from *other* users.
