its not a binary.. first of all there are tons of people who have software needs who just dont have that option. Whats the solution, hire you? you're expensive, and you have your own backlog to deal with. *they are bottlenecked by you*.

second of all flutterflow (and other code-exporting builders like webflow) generates code you can take over, so it can even be helpful to people who could code it themselves, all it has to do is save some substantial time, which as a UI builder myself a WYSIWYG tool always does.

This. I tried out Flutter Flow a few days back. I was able to do a ton of boring design work very productively, as well as the Firebase integration gamut, but I can't see myself coding app logic with the existing setup.

Awesome, thank you for this insight! Does it generate quality code?

[fakedang]

For layouts and basic UI, definitely. But backend integration was a bit convoluted and I think difficult to decipher by design. Like if you expect to just do the stuff on the web app, then download code and make changes, nope not going to happen. You'll have to spend some time with each of the files you downloaded.
