#2I've seen a lot more interest for this kind of tool in enterprise environments recently. Never seen this kind of interest before. I'm curious on how this is going to pan out.

#3Betteridge's law of headlines. No.

See Microsoft Access.

#5Ever? Of course if we get a GAI. Soon? Probably not.

More prototypes built in enterprises -> some succeed -> outgrow tools -> more consulting projects than ever before!

#7My main issue with low-code/no-code is that it attempts to solve the complexity problem, without understanding what "complexity" is. Code is perceived to be complex, but when you look deeply into what people mean when they say that, it's almost entirely a social perception. They see these weird characters and it looks like gibberish and they assume that the people who understand this gibberish are somehow on another level of intelligence.
Code is really just a formalized expression of what you want. It happens to be used for very complex problems, because it's very good at solving complex problems. This in and of itself does not make code inherently complex.

#8Asp.net Forms and WinForms are much much much better rapid development tools than the kinds of bubble/retool etc. The issue is that lots of very young people have very limited set knowledge about the choices available to them.

It has been a perennial dream for six decades. The creators of Cobol and Fortran thought that was what they were producing! (Not literally no-code, but the notion that computing by non-specialists would result from putting assembler and other hardware-oriented knowledge under the covers.) After that, there were several waves of hype and disillusionment, though that seems to have dampened down in the 21st century.
Spreadsheet programs are arguably the closest we got up to now, and that was a long time ago.

Yes, and I have never struggled to execute something complex as I have with no-code tools.
Nocode usually makes the HelloWorld trivial and anything meaningful more challenging than it would be to do in a general purpose language.
