It doesn't send any data or have axios integrated. It will output the form (probably in Vue) for a developer on the client side to connect the dots with an API.

Building the form widget is the easy part, "connecting the dots" as you say is what takes 80% of the time and produces 99% of the bugs.
Not sure I agree. From our own experience the boring and time consuming part is translating the specific design to front-end code. "Connecting the dots" is the essential and most important part, not necessarily what it takes more time.
I suppose if your use case is marketing sites or something similar. This doesn't match my experience at all.
Nah man, my sites are all very complex apps. Managing the UI is the complicated part, reading data from an api is relatively trivial.
There's more to building your UI than just implementing the design. Even if using this tool all the logic and state management you have to do by yourself.

Putting together the form is the easy part, especially in a large application. You implement your inputs once and re-use them across the app. It's managing the UX and business logic that's hard.

Well I haven't used the tool but I kinda just assumed they would do a good job at this. If all they do is implement each page independently of each other and there's not vue best practices then it's really useless. But I assume it would handle the complexity of the UI.
