I really hope @webstudio.is gets more spotlight and adds more banger talent to work on its open source project. A visual IDE should've already been the new norm — and it shouldn’t be one-player game.

There's a big gap today with how builders like Webflow don't really want you to write code, where imo, they (at least Webflow) could've worked w the idea of being a VDE over a low-code builder. Maybe wasn't as viable pre-LLM, but today an inline editor like Cursor within a visual builder, vv viable.
We are actually building webstudio as straightforward UI for code. So many things are generated almost 1:1. For example css variables work exactly like in css and they are changed and accessed from style panel which basically a css editor.
Webstudio’s done such a good job with a lot of it so I really trust the vision and the roadmap with this one. One thing the team could get expand a lot on is the UX whilst using custom code, like syntax highlights, inline class and variable suggestions, sitewide script files, etc.

There is a css mixins proposal which is the same as tokens in webstudio.
