There's also the hugely popular Huginn, if you're on a Ruby stack (Trigger Happy seems to run on Django) https://github.com/cantino/huginn

Why did IFTTT become so bad with the recent changes? Why did they have to "improve"? The updated app is horrible to use compared to the old one.

I'm not sure but I'm not happy with the change. I thought they did a great job of making conditional logic easy for the masses through their 'recipes'. The new applets hide what little complexity the service previously had and now its just confusing to me.

Huginn is great, but I wish it was easier to chain stuff together. Node RED has an awesome UI, but the building blocks are aimed at something else entirely.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The whole point of the service is to automate stuff so you don't have to open their webpage ever again if done properly. This doesn't bring advertising revenue in.

On top of that, this kind of interactions are usually used by power users (individuals, not business), so it wouldn't be as popular nor profitable as they need (e.g.: Google Reader was a fantastic tool but they shut it down anyway).
