Mockups is infinitely less powerful at generating code than an IDE.

Its goal is to help you think about your UI (i.e. your innovations) without getting in your way.

It is designed both for developers who want to iterate on their ideas before firing up their IDE and also for people who might know about usability and software requirements but who might not know what an IDE is (product managers, UX designers).

The issue is that UI is not UX. mockups fail in real life. Just get your hards dirty designing the real thing than losing time desining mockups on pc...

you won't make innovation with a tool that constraints you to classic examples of user experience, whatever that is called mockup or ide

You should give it a shot. It does give you more power than a traditional IDE. The as-you-type search thing is genius usability for a tool like this and I'd expect to see it in Visio and the like as soon as they see how well it works.

Innovation often requires iteration and that's exactly what this is good at doing.

it's been a long time since I used an IDE for designing a UI. IDE is so last century, it's just for maintaining large code base.
