I will totally agree with both of you. I am developing with PHP, MySql for 10-12 years, been developing sites with Joomla, Mambo, WP or custom handcoding and the only think I have to say is, that is just a matter of time for Wappler to become the next big trend in Website | WebApp development.
Have collaborated with classic programmers that do all the stuff manually and, wow, yes things that take them days to complete, in Wappler is a matter of a few hours. And the ‘worst’ for them is that the Wappler (previously as DW extensions) result works and behaves much better.
It is also true that someone with 0 coding experience will believe that he can develop everything and start to charge nothing. But this is the best part of Wappler. It is a huge time saver for people who know how to build stuff. Although it does all the heavy work for you, this does not mean the your website will rely on a ‘bad’ structured relational database.
Wappler is the perfect software for developers who love what they do, and can offer cutting edge results to clients while being able to become more competitive in prices. It is a win - win situation for both of us, developers and clients.
Although I can understand the great possibilities that WP, Joomla and other similar website builders can offer, these are solutions for people who dont know how to code, buy several plugins and try to find a way to combine them by uploading the same data again and again. Yes you can create you own plugin but again nothing compares to the custom built dynamic websites webapps Wappler can create.
