> Text based coding is certainly more efficient in representing logic in a concise way, but the current set of frameworks and tooling on text based environments requires an exhorbitant amount of learning to produce a working application(e.g React) That's a problem with this particular set of tooling then. In the past we've had drag'n'drop tools like visual basic which made rapid prototyping easy and you'd use the same tools for the final version. On the text side you've got similar tools like Qt and Gtk which allow you to slap together a prototype quickly and then use them for the final application. I always assumed react was quite similar.
