Mobile UI builders can barely generalize over their own domain even when they are just targeting a specific platform.

That's not very high praise, to me. Look at all the code you still have to write just creating a table view on iOS. If I avoid writing code, then I'm stuck with stringly-typed identifiers hidden in sidebar menus which is even harder to debug.

The bottom line is that client development is hard. So hard that our tools for more focused platforms than web (like mobile) aren't even better, they just have different trade-offs.
