I’ve not done a lot of front end. I used pilot, made a react app, playing around with it. I saw what could be done and said workshop is dead.
It made me appreciate front end and web dev so much more.
This is my apology form
Workshop is solid. I recently started training on it, and before that I worked with Microsoft Power Apps. Back then, Microsoft was pushing low-code/no-code pretty hard, this was all prior to LLM coding agents.
Today, if possible, I think people should try building web apps directly in Foundry. With Foundry handling the backend, data, and security, I can focus on designing a clean, modern UI, which I find harder to do in Workshop.
The agent features in Foundry via VS Code also look promising. That said, I think Workshop will continue to be popular for users who don’t want to manage repositories. On my team, many Deployment Strategists prefer Workshop so they can focus on showcasing what Foundry can do, rather than worrying about repo management.
