Since "no code" can be so confusing, does anyone have any ideas for what to call the category of creating software visually/declaratively without needing a text editor? Other terms that have baggage and are not ideal imo: wysiwygs, app builders, website builders...

I think "development by direct manipulation" in a talk I saw Vlad give is a lot closer to the magic. Like a 3D editor lets you draw a model that is stored as code, Webflow lets you draw a website that becomes code, but the code isn't the interesting part, the tool is.
no-code low-code has been @salesforce’s sell for a while now, just playing with webflow reminds me of dreamweaver/ps without the code, and a far better experience than weebly or others ... it’s like chrome-devtools but for building sites not debugging them

For a term, to me it def fits the “maker” line of tools.. it’s not just another api exposed to automate things.. in fact the human is at the center so yeah maker... site makers? Didn’t know synonym for automate is dehumanize.. webflow humanizes
