I couldn’t agree more — text just makes sense. All tools suck for some reasons but we all learn ways of dealing with them. Programming with text has issues but the power it provides is worth it and learning to deal with those issues only takes a few months. I’d like to point out that 100k is not a lot in this market. Dev tools are an 11 figure market with tens of millions of programmers. I think the biggest change is the surface area has grown so much that the failed visual tools of yesteryear might have been able to carve out sustainable markets today. Bubble, Webflow, and Square Space can all be succeess stories but that doesn’t mean they’re a bellweather for all of coding. There are clearly a lot of small problems (simple web apps) business needs solved that are simple enough for these tools. I say hallelujah! Now I don’t have to update the pricing page every 3 days and can work on the real problems! The only caveat is to keep everyone in their swim lanes and don’t let the wise Bubble intern shard my database.
