It's a big mental hurdle.

I don't really care about HTML/CSS/JS. I really don't care about React. But the four of those form this gigantic cottage industry of tribal knowledge that requires so much fiddling. In short, I don't want to be a webdev.

I just want to use the browser as a dumb display device and a software delivery mechanism. I want the UI to be as simple as possible until I start getting traction, then I'll get someone to add some paint to make it passable.

The dream is a VB-like product that lets me focus on creating features, not worrying about technical inanities like getting CORS configured right for the 5000th time.
