Hello everyone,
I recently started using EMF Forms and I find it really amazing!
But, as I'm learning about it more and more, I started wondering, which are its limits? Are there situations in which manual coding is preferable?

As EMF Forms allows to plugin custom renderers, you can always implement
parts of the UI manually. Typically that extensibility is used to
implement custom controls or custom layouts. Therefore, you can combine
manually written parts with the generic framework.
Those custom renderers can then reuse many framework services, e.g. for
databinding or layouting. So EMF Forms does not forbid you to implement
parts of the UI yourself, actually this is a standard case.
I hope this answers a part of your question.
Can you explain a bit on what specific limits you would expect?

Thank you for your answer!
Actually I don't really know what limits to expect, it's just that I was wondering if there was a case in which using EMF Forms was not the best option aviable, but only because I can't think of one.
