I tried views on one site before switching to acf, it’s okay if you don’t want to do a lot of customization where it does not already provide something. Doing anything with types and views where you need to do any custom coding is far more complicated than with ACF. It is most definitely geared more toward non devs. It’s more of a framework and like most frameworks, not really conducive to custom work. Almost everything I build is completely custom for clients that are…, well, let’s say that they are unwilling to setting for what’s available “out of the box.”
