What does it mean by "n8n" lacks a UI? All it has is a UI, what use cases does the UI not handle? The writing is very poor and does not make sense at all.

Sorry, I should have made myself clearer, I did not mean the UI that you use to create flows with, both systems are drag and drop flow creators. The issues I come across is visualizing what is going on inside of a system once it is created and up and running. I normally would like to have a dashboard showing me what is going on inside of a system. The node-red comes with Dashboard 2 ( a vue based set of components) for displaying whats going on in a live system. But I could not find a similar tool for n8n.
But then n8n has things I am missing from node-red, especially wrappers around LangGraph. I have to code those manually, in a node-red function node and it's not a simple task :(
It's a question that comes up often from low/no-code creators.
However I have updated the article so it is much clearer, the UI that is missing from n8n is not WISIWIG, but a management dashboard, to be viewed once the system is live. I have added the following:
