I spent half of last year working on a project built using a low-code tool that will remain nameless. The company that produces it had recently raised money at a valuation in the 9 figures if memory serves me.
The project took something like 5x longer to complete than it should have. We spent almost the entire time working against the tool to try to figure out how to do pretty basic styling and/or logic.
We discussed at some length during the project what use cases the tool actually would require less work to implement. There were a few, but they were essentially just the exact workflows which had been implemented in their examples and/or were obviously easy to do given what tools you got from the toolchain.
Edit: Just checked. The funding was at a 10 figure valuation actually (more than a billion). It's hard to believe.
