My take would be that Lightswitch is meant for part time programmers who have specific business logic they need to use in an application. Microsoft themselves admit that you need some programming skills in certain circumstances.

Get a head start by using pre-configured screen templates that give your application a familiar look and feel. LightSwitch also provides prewritten code and other reusable components to handle routine application tasks, along with helpful step-by-step guidance. However, if you need to write custom code, you can use Visual Basic .NET or C#.
