Do you have a good experience with tools for building (drag&drop) Web user interfaces? Do you use such in your day to day work?


It is a good approximation of what we want to achieve indeed - high productivity in building applications of a selected list of archetypes.


Dirigible's WebIDE indeed provides a simplistic look&feel of a modern WebIDE, which in fact is a bit similar to VSCode, but it is quite different from goals, personas, target scenarios, behaviour, etc. perspectives. In short, if you are looking for a general purpose IDE/WebIDE to write your "standard" Java, Node, Go, Ruby, Rust, PHP, etc. you should better choose Eclipse, VSCode, IntelliJ, Theia, or any other of this kind. In case you are in the "business applications" development side, where the time to deliver a product with a higher complexity, with many integrations, on different infrastructures maybe Dirigible can be your choice. The most recent newsletter can shed more light here: https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/ma... As it is a "niche player", any feedback and feature requests are very much appreciated by the team.
