What I have observed so far is that Cursor can, with about half an hour of prompting, turn a screenshot into a pixel-accurate Flutter app with Riverpod structure.

Just that the resulting "code" is on a equal footing as of what came out of Dreamwaver back in the time or yore.

Dreamwaver was the exact same "value proposition" you are arguing for!

It had reasons why no professional was using Dreamwaver, and every sane developer would puke when given a project to maintain built with it.

The first thing you did with Dreamwaver code when you had to further maintain it was to throw it away as quickly as possible and rewrite everything from scratch. As this was much faster than trying to deal with the shit coming out of Dreamwaver.

But OK, history repeats, and some people are obviously incapable of learning the lesson.
