It boggles the mind that they built a "low code" interface to designing websites, with the express purpose of making it easy to use...

..and then used Excel formulas of all things as the basis for its scripting language.

It's as if they wanted these things to be as clunky and spaghettified as possible.

At some point, doing things the "low code/no code" way turns out to be more painful than just . . . writing code.

for those that can write code. if you can't write code, the more painful way is just the way

Having been involved in a “no code” product, I’ll just say that it’s a really crappy way to write programs. You’re better off creating a DSL of some sort and asking people to type. Demanding that people click the mouse three times to open an input box where they can type something and then doing that a few hundred times is not “better.” It’s infuriating.
