SAP Web IDE

What do you like best?

The visual layout editor certainly will help people new to SAPUI5 Development -- that's if you aren't proficient in XML Views. What I do like is that, being hosted in SAP Cloud Platform, one can access the full Dev environment from anywhere. Also the ability to connect from the Cloud directly into our Backend SAP Systems via Cloud Connector is really cool

What do you dislike?

The performance of the tool can be slow, sometimes requiring a reload. Session expiration adds to the frustration (albeit only a little).

It's a little clunky hosted in the cloud - not as responsive as a local tool.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We're building Custom Apps as required by business. We're also adapting existing apps. Basically doing with it what its intended for: the adding of functionality where this is not serviced by a "vanilla" SAP implementation.
