If you're talking about just constructing new JS views, creating templates, and styling them, yes I think that will be relegated a WYSIWYG editor for a designer to weld. I know people said this was going to happen when Dreamweaver came out, but the languages were still clunky. CSS had barely come out and layouts were done by nesting tables within tables. The machine-created code was shit and browsers were wildly inconsistent. Now we have decent browser consistency between Firefox/Chrome/Safari, CSS grids are arriving, and React component web views are gaining more traction. So in 5-10 years, why can't we have an editor that does all this for you? Yes, there will always be a need for custom interfaces. So a small amount of front-end folks will remain hand-crafting artisan components (and perhaps selling them on a Wordpress-like market place), while other people will either need to move into design/UX roles, or further down the stack.
