Honestly, I actually find it really really fast. I don't know how long you've been doing this and I suspect that may be the issue here, but for me it just comes so naturally now that I can't think of any other tool someone could use to outrun me using CSS/HTML.
More broadly, to me, that combo is one of the tools that makes me feel most connected to the output, as the results are near instantaneous.
Have you ever watched a good designer mockup something using Indesign, PowerPoint or a Wordpress Theme like Divi? They're superfast with the visual tools. I doubt you can match that in CSS/HTML.
There's a reason Visual Basic was so popular in the 90s. That sort of development kind of got forgotten when the web overtook everything. And it's why Alan Kay made Smalltalk a visual environment, and not just raw code in an editor, because human beings are faster designing UIs with visual tools.
18 years. I’m damn fast realizing design in code but will always be faster in visual media. I imagine your designs aren’t that complex? Simple pages do code up quick.

I could outrun you using Webflow...
