Webflow can make a page look like it came out of a design studio, because it's built for people who think in layout grids and CSS. If you don't have a designer on call and just need your business open, taking payments and answering customers, that level of control costs you time you don't have.
What matters isn't just generating the front end, but what happens after you hit publish.

Neither is "better" in a vacuum. It depends on what you need to happen after you build.
