I think the Lego analogy is perfect, actually. When I think about the evolution of Legos from my childhood to that of my own child, it's a journey of ever-increasing specialization. My Legos were pretty basic, with maybe a wing shape or two (space Legos, anyone?) or a cockpit.

For my son, it seems like each kit is mostly custom shapes, or at least shapes so specific that I spend more time looking for the "right piece" than just building something close enough out of a much more limited set of things.

Low/no code feels the same way. I can do a lot of things with them, but it's never exactly what I want. Perhaps the real issue is with what I want, but I suspect that I'm not alone.
