Agreed, the article's perspective is much narrower and I think it makes total sense.

Previous no-code tools could work but required total buy-in. On the other hand you can have Claude generate a small throwaway frontend that relies on Web technologies you'd be using anyway.

My mental model for this is "Excel++". It has similar strengths (very powerful, users don't need developers to write every last line) and similar weaknesses (easy to make a mess or go down blind alleys if you don't know what you're doing).
