My limited experience with "no/low code" has been that it sacrifices the reuse of logic.
I don't understand how that can possibly substitute for programming, because the reuse and composition of logic is the whole point...isn't it?
It's also the source of complexity, so just making a visual, drag and drop interface isn't going to make development more accessible, I would think. Less, in that it's more cumbersome and expands visually.
My assumption has been that this is an emperor with no clothes that is invariably sold to decision makers who won't use it.

But maybe there's more to it?
