Regardless of your own opinion, be aware that abstractions cannot replace knowledge of how things work. Sure, you can design [SQL] queries visually, drop a DataBase component onto a form, and have it a grid of values populated automagically. But if you don't understand [SQL] or how DataBase connections are made, chances are you'll create inefficient and/or too inflexible code and run into problems sooner or later. There are probably heaps of better ways of performing a query that you didn't even know existed.
And because the expressive capability of [GUI]s is inherently limited, you may often find yourself unable to create something that fits a complex spec exactly.
