I'm a little surprised that nobody has pulled off the "VB6 of javascript". I don't mean one of the purely no-code products, but like a literal "create a new page, drag a button, then double click it to hop into the code for a new route and a new component and go straight into the onclick handler".

Maybe that's harder than I can imagine, or it exists and just isn't a very good idea in practice (how would you even do responsive?) so it's not that popular.

VB was a garbage language by modern standards but I always liked that they gave you a visual builder, but didn't try to hide the coding from you too much.
