The low-no-code things it has are pretty remarkable, but I think in order to craft something of any sufficient complexity, you are still going to need to writing code somewhere, whether it's a function node to finesse json into a special structure, or to check and make a decision about what to do that is outside the limitations of the existing nodes, or maybe a template node javascript, but I can say without a doubt that it's been a very pleasant experience playing with it.
100%. I have some function nodes to do things in JS, especially for date checking. And I think you can even get it to call shell scripts? I'm sure there's an add-on that would do it.
Agreed that it really is a pleasant experience.
Executing command line options I believe is out-of-the-box functionality. I found myself wanting to do something that wasn't contained in the existing nodes and it's really easy to make command line calls.
