I've seen plenty of platforms that write their own code from UI-type elements. That code is scary.

More or less scary than the code generated by a compiler? The JavaScript you get out of a ClojureScript compiler is pretty scary, but it still runs reasonably well. Though I suppose it would be pretty hard to write additional JavaScript to interact with the generated code.

Rather like Adobe Dreamweaver back in the day. The code it generated was atrocious, but it really helped a lot of non-technical people build sites quickly with minimal "fuss".
