Doesn't work. And I've had practical experience using low-code platforms, "selling" them and even built a couple myself. First - there's no complete solution.

Doesn't work. And I've had practical experience using low-code platforms, "selling" them and even built a couple myself.
First - there's no complete solution. notice how they all have a "custom code" feature for you to fill in what's missing using JS or proprietery language. And you need a developer for that.
These platform only work so long as you stick exactly to the use-case they had in mind.
Second - Business/non-dev users don't have the skills nor the inclination to use these platforms.
It may look simple, just drag'n'drop, connect the dots,
But what if it fails? why did it fail? when will it fail? they don't have the experience and mindset to debug and account for edge cases, and they don't even want to learn how to do it! no matter how easy the no-code platform is.
These conclusions I payed for in blood, sweat and money.
