Agree about no-code. But UI that generates code is a pretty cool paradigm. For most common patterns, end users don't need to know that there's a bunch of boilerplate code under the hood, but if that isn't sufficient, that remaining 5% can be reached by just jumping into some auto-generated code that's readable and well-commented. Mere mortals can do the 95% themselves and then call in a wizard for the hard parts, or try to figure it out on their own. Plus, any non-generated solutions can be highlighted, so it builds up a record of the places where the UI fell short.
