I experimented with Appsmith (and Budibase, and to a lesser extent a few others) for about a week, and it was just a very painful experience. The simple examples are simple, but the curve goes up quickly, for example if you want to hook up a few APIs, instead of a database. As an experienced developer (but not normally in React), just building something off of a React starter app, with off the shelf components is just so much quicker than using tools in the Low or No Code category. I spent my next few days building the tool I wanted in React, and it was a breeze. Less experienced developers (not-developers) may not have that choice, but it doesn't mean that these tools are going to be any better for them than they were for me. I admire the attempt, and certainly the dedication that's being put into these Low or No Code projects, but I think they're still far off.
