I guess core issue to me is this value delivered to whom. So far the value I see it is for framework users who could pull a 100K lines CRUD app in one month, of which 99% is just framework glue/code.

However as end user I am getting rather bad user experience, my computer fan is running at full speed, Loading webpages or filling online forms so slow, endless error popups come and disappear and I can't do anything about it. It is not even about efficiency, just plain unreliable/unusable software delivered in name of "empowering" me.

If I weren't software engineer I wouldn't even know that this crap is pulled by software engineers. Non-technical person would simply assume computer is bad/old, internet is slow and so on.
