I fly these things on (almost) daily basis, and I'm not too crazy about this. As long as they keep flying, it's all right. But sometimes you have to intervene as a pilot, and 'gettin rid of difficult controls' is the last thing you need.

DJI did a great thing with the Phantom, in terms of making the hobby accessible. They also did a great job selling multirotors to complete tools who fly these things irresposibly, possibly ruining the hobby for everyone in the future. I'm afraid that when you don't even need the most elementary skills to fly a UAV, this will become a problem even faster.

Besides that, i'm not touching anything UAV-related that can be controlled over wifi.
