I've used it for a few professional freelance projects back when I was just starting out during high school/university. The projects typically involved communicating with an Arduino running some physical hardware and displaying some info on a screen/doing very simple control flow (an interactive installation in a conference).

It's great for that kind of a simple thing, but starts to fall apart when you need to do more advanced user interaction - you have to build a lot of stuff from scratch, or at least you had to back then. Also I feel that a lot of the primitives have been optimized for ease of learning rather than what's best for professional code.

It would still be my go-to tool for similar Arduino based projects that just need a quick simple good-looking interface.
