The problem that never seems to be solved by no-code tools is the debugging aspect of coding. Saving a few minutes writing code was never the problem; rather, we need more ways to save hours or days explaining why things behave the way they do.

It’s definitely cool when you can wire together a UI without a lot of effort and see it largely work. Yet if any part doesn’t work exactly right the first time, you may have no idea why. You are also at the mercy of the tool developer; if it has bugs (or bugs show up next year), you’re stuck, and they probably aren’t using an open file format that can be hacked to do the right thing.

These no-code tools also, in my experience, interact poorly with revision control, basic teamwork, and other aspects of development. You can’t easily do simultaneous edits for example.
