In my case I like the end product to be code. I use snippets/generators to create components (models/controllers/middleware) then modify as needed. Having used loopback before, it's a quick way to get an api up and running, I personally struggle with injecting logic into endpoints/writing custom endpoints. If the code's "all there", I know where to look. If I have to intercept hooks it adds an extra layer when searching. Summary, loopback has been great for creating APIs where all I care about is crud, but for larger projects I stick with snippets/generators so I can extend easier later.
