Curious question... For you, which is better, Webflow or Framer, and why?

Coming from a frontend developer background, seeing that Webflow uses the same principles, I went down this path, but I'm getting curious to learn more about Framer.

Is there the same level of control in Webflow during the construction process? How does custom code integration work, for example? Is it possible?

I've seen some incredible websites made in Framer. How do the animations work? Is it based on GSAP like Webflow?

@Tiago Manuel after experimenting with a few projects in Webflow, I found it useful but somewhat limiting for developers.

We’re used to working with a central stylesheet or structured CSS system, where classes can be created and edited directly in code. In Webflow, everything must be handled...
