Great points, but, rapid website development is a solved problem with templated builders. The problem comes when we need a more complex site/app than something Wix or Weebly or Wordpress can provide. Then in current practice, it's often back to square one, but it shouldn't be. We have opininated frameworks like Rails and Django that save a lot of time, but only cover the featureset of a CRUD app. There is a lack of opinionated frameworks that work at a higher level, but still below that of drag-and-drop templated website generators.
