Yeah, what it produces - if you let it - can be a bit overcomplete. I find it doesn't tend to do this too much if you focus on small, incremental features instead of the bigger tasks or complete applications.
Sometimes it's handy though - the other day I had it built a map tool (show travel times as a gradient on the roads from a certain starting point), not only did it do that exactly as I imagined, it also added features for automatically finding the perfect starting point, varying traffic speeds (using bus / taxi lanes - it was for emergency services), loads of things I didn't specify but were all convenient given the context.
But for an employer / enterprise I really wouldn't
