Having worked professionally with low-code tools, low-code is just coding but with less expressivity and worse ergonomics.
In layperson terms, you're still implementing the same logic - just that now you have less flexibility and precision to implement exactly what you want (expressivity), and the UI/UX is "clunkier" than if you just wrote some code in an IDE or text editor.
There are also a few other problems that are prevalent in the low-code ecosystem but not fundamental to it:
- not having good version control
- not being able to port what you built (vendor lock-in)
- not having a good way to collaborate
These are very powerful things that we take for granted when writing code in a version-controlled repo.
