I wouldn't be so sure about that. Have you actually tried? You might be surprised.

Screenshots are a hell of a big baby to be throwing out with the bathwater.

The structured data this cli returns is great, but screen snapshots can be extremely useful too, both together.

Editing raw yaml files can be tricky, so you do want a formal editing api you can go through, that is extensible for your own component property getters and setters and apis and editors, that correctly maintains all the constraints and dependencies, instead of just letting the LLM hot dog it with your raw yaml files by peeking and poking.

I've tried it. I've spent about $100 in tokens trying to make it viable. There are cases where it's very impressive but the stability is non-existent for practical use.

Allowing raw YAML access is the only way I've gotten things like automatic configuration of lightmap baking to actually succeed such that it renders correctly on the first try without me monkey patching things the API exposes poorly.
