I remember the discussions about the impact of Microsoft FrontPage on web development. The consensus was that FrontPage produces crap code which does not work well, and if you need something good, you need to write the code by hand.
25 years later I hear similar discussions about web development, and we are getting to the same consensus, and that's very entertaining.
