Would you like to expand on your view? I’ve used terraform a lot and never had any issues with the tooling. But then again it’s just a pretty simple CLI/config setup? Do you mean you’re looking for graphical interfaces to write config files?

Personally, HCL is what bothers me. Yes, it’s infrastructure-as-code... but that code is in a niche proprietary language. It gets unpleasant as soon as you go beyond trivial static config.

Pulumi and AWS CDK are taking what I think is a better approach: use your favourite general-purpose language to build the declarative infrastructure definition.
