IMO, the answer lies somewhere in between.

The biggest benefit I see from the low code movement is, what I hope, will be a trend in bespoke apps where devs like myself spend less time building a single user experience and more time architecting a cohesive system with bespoke “low code” tools on top, that can help enable non-engineer power users to then work within that business-specific framework to craft the screens and user experiences that the masses then use.

Essentially a way to keep the devs doing more actual engineering and architecture work while the more accessible things like “move this button” or “create a screen that shows this data we already have” can be made more accessible to more people.

That said, I think general purpose low code solutions meant for all businesses and industries will be more for the MVP / rapid prototyping stages for the most part.

But I could well be proven wrong!
