Maybe. A bigger impact factor imo is the distance between the tech you're using and the center of mass of training data. Showcase site in NextJS with a CSS gradient hero banner and a news letter? AI will be amazing. But then again, so will many no-code solutions. The sweet spot is probably custom enough that you're just outside of Wordpress but within well-trained domains like web and its popular frameworks. If you venture outside the mainstream, quality degrades rapidly.

Whilst I agree, the mainstream is also where the vast majority of software development occurs. CRUD apps and enterprise workloads, etc.

Saying that current LLMs are only useful for the mainstream is saying that they're incredible useful.

Yes and no. If you have a hammer that works 98% of times, you might wanna use it a lot or not at all, depending on the circumstances. IME the double checking misses the point for production code. Might as well write it myself. I’m sure YMMV a lot.
