I've never seen it in such detail since this was before my (Apple) time. On the other hand in the 90s there was a ton of point-and-click Rapid Application Development software available as Shareware. I used that software since programming with general purpose tools was not very accessible because of little free documentation, steep learning curves and often costly tools. Unfortunately anything more complex than a recursion level of 1 was usually impossible.
As time passed by I eventually ended up buying Delphi 3, just to find out that it was less intuitive than the Delphi 2 Shareware that I used excessively until then. Nowadays I even recommend non-technical people to take a look at Python when they consider writing anything more complex than an Excel formula. I'd be surprised if such tools ever become popular again.

Seems you ultimately need to go ad hominem to argue for this kind of software in 20xx.
