Granted, I'm not a huge fan of the generated HTML/CSS/JS that it generates, but don't services like Wix make it incredibly easy for a layperson to build a servicable and attractive UI? Again, I reiterate that the generated code is an absolute clusterfuck (even compared to what I remember Frontpage 99 making), but from what I can tell, the end-user never touches the generated raw code.
- alxlaz 7y agoTools like the ones I mentioned weren't meant to allow a layperson to build an UI, they were meant to allow developers to build an UI. The experience hasn't degraded much for people who don't write code for a living, but it has degraded significantly for developers. FWIW, it's part of why I moved away from all this stuff, more than 15 years ago. I discovered a lot of other fun things computers could do (I got into embedded programming, operating systems, security etc.), and web development stopped being fun when we seriously continued digging the hole we were into instead of climbing out of it.
