Is the visual editor's days numbered?

This week, Matt and I discuss the potential impact of AI on the Visual Editor for experimentation tools.

First of all, I think we both need to acknowledge that we are not active users of Visual Editors. Nor are we the target audience. We’ve raged about them a lot. Having said that, they are the entry point for many into the world of experimentation.

I just heard what that last sentence sounded like…No, I’m not changing it.

Here’s some takeaway points:

• There’s the potential for AI to improve the quality of the code that Visual Editors produce.

• The scope of what you can do in a visual editor might be greater.

• The bar to entry to the “world of experimentation” might be lowered still.

• In the end, we didn’t think the Visual Editor is going away.

More stuff was said in the video if you can be bothered. But what do you think? Do you agree with our take? Let us know!
