Shortcuts is one of those rare products that have been acquired and have not only not been ruined, but has improved tremendously for first and third party app integrations.

I was initially turned off by the visual programming style because it was mind-bending. Now I use it a lot because it is mind-bending and flexes my brain while also being highly useful.

If for some reason I don’t want mind-bending, I can hope into Pythonista and get stuff done. Or thanks to the tight integration, integrate it with Shortcuts.
