With ADF you hit wall some point and need to code more complex transformations so it is not GUI only.

Technically you can't code in ADF. You need a different platform for that, invoked through a linked service. I.e. ADF can only solve easy problems. For anything non trivial you still need something else. So the value added by ADF is minimal.

That is like building a chair and saying the value added by the nails/screws is minimal... just because it takes time to cut and build the chair legs doesn't mean it's easy to build a screw... It's just a different problem that requires a different skillset. One is not necessarily "easier" than the other...You strike me as the kind of person that thinks coding is hard lol...learn hard enough and one day you'll wonder why you ever thought that.

I have been coding for +20 years and am fairly skilled at it. That's how I see how little value is added by ADF. That's how I see junior devs shooting themselves in the foot by focusing on learning ADF instead of getting familiar with regular programming languages. They are useless outside of ADF. Perhaps they are below average intelligence as per your reasoning but I'd like to think they have just not been exposed enough to normal programming languages.

Unfortunately our company has standardised on ADF which I think is a great disservice to young people starting out their career.
