Things have gotten easier, the barrier to entry is lowered, and despite things being a million times easier than they used to be, they're 'too hard' for someone (it's all relative, after all). So frameworks like Unicorn and Livewire [0] pop up to address these issues...

At a glance it seems to be effort directed towards the spirit of no-code, but the fact that people using these tools can code is the crux of this phenomena. It's a natural tendency to make things easier for ourselves and it's hard to know when to stop as a programmer.
