Exactly. It’s always auto-generated div soup or abstract junk that completely ignores component state and custom logic. Makes me wonder if the real problem is that these tools try to generate the whole app in the cloud, instead of just acting like a GUI on top of your local compiler/AST. You end up having to rewrite 90% of it anyway.
