Intuitive post Jeff. Page builder has their place and its meant for people who doesn't want to be a core front-end developer or who doesn't have the time to sit down to spend many months learning the ropes in hmtl/css and jquery cum php. However, it has its place and designer with minimal coding skills can use page-builders to produce beautiful website but not for WordPress beginners or those who doesn't have traits to design...we all have Achilles hills! But then, they can as well use it if they have enough support and know what they want. But WordPress has evolved and still evolving and theme and plugin developers are changing their game daily. The #1 page builder I can vouch for to produce a beautiful website is Divi produced by Elegantthemes (not a separate but reside in the theme plugin) because no matter how you use it, your site will still look appealing though the layout may be a little off but with their responsive, you can be a professional gangling knight designer. I keep studying the css code in Divi I found out that Nick and his team took time to style every div class you could think in the theme and leave option to produce your style, that's intuitiveness and I bet you Jeff that even though you don't have a designing traits as you let us know, using Divi will eliminate that and you can produce some sterling designs you've imagined. Note, I'm no paid to do this, just sharing a solution to WP users who doesn't have eye for design. Would this make front-end developer out of job? No! Front-end developers will perpetually have job so long as website are being build daily and if they aligned themselves with WordPress, then they will be well off to make good money. A lot of experts have shared their view on the post and I respected them. Cheers
