Hi there,
Page builders are becoming better and better everyday! I remember testing the first ones out, wow, the difference with the ones today (ElegantThemes, but also on CodeCanyon: some very nice ones).
Thing is, I still find it easier to do it the old way, I must be getting old myself!
I find myself spending more time trying to figure out how to do such and such with the Page builder than I would if I were doing it manually. At least, that's how I look at it.
Cheers,
John
