    RAD claimed to reduce boilerplate, allowing you to focus your code on the buisness logic that matters. Not to avoid the need to code buisness logic. Thats the critical difference. Commented Oct 7, 2023 at 16:11

    This post of full of wrong assumptions and overgeneralizing statements, which makes it IMHO nothing but a rant. I could start to debunk this one-by-one in an answer, but I think it is better to close the question until you manage to find a way to make it look less biased. Commented Oct 7, 2023 at 16:42

    The goalposts are constantly moving. What can be done with "no code" is no longer valuable and now more complex projects are needed, again needing actual engineers Commented Oct 7, 2023 at 16:47

    ... for example, start with the title, saying "all devs over the world haven't learned to deal with ....". Or "If it's safe to say that Word is a no code program" - em, last time I used MS Word, it was quite programmable with VBA. And as a long time user of Word and LaTex, I can tell you this diagram is nonsense. Commented Oct 7, 2023 at 16:47

    @Ooker, the only part of Winforms which is "low-code" is the visual form designer itself. That form designer does still produce a coded representation in a standard programming language. It relieves a programmer from having to describe the visual layout as a procedure for the assembly of its elements, or to swap back and forth between the programmatic representation and the visual representation. It's provably quicker and easier (even for programmers who could do it all programmatically). It doesn't relieve the programmer from programming overall, nor intended to pander to those who can't.
