I doubt in 20 years time they'll be a thing. We'll look back on no-code generation and and decide it was not the silver bullet people wanted. Half the problem isn't really the tech but if you ask a group of nontechnical people what they want and give them free reign, you'll end up with a mess regardless.

I've had the joys of dealing with Adalo for app creation. It's truly a terrible platform and we'd have saved money if we had just written the thing internally.

Same goes for Wordpess. Far quicker, easier and secure to build a site from scratch. You'll enter into a tech debt you don't want to be in otherwise.

I guess maybe if you literally want a non-functional, information based web site, no-code can work but the minute you want logic in there, I'd 100% avoid.
