Description
### Describe the feature you'd like to request
How Amplify is marketed and how it works is dramatically different. It's very clear that Amplify is designed by very high minded coders who have completely forgot what it is to be low-code or a non-coder. So much about how Amplify works is just not ever mentioned, I've spent so many development hours just figuring out how AMplify syncs and works with the rest of the AWS ecosystem. Learning that for Amplify apps, the Amplify CLI and Studio is the one source of truth would've saved so much time.
Or telling us precisely where to go to paste some content or how to edit in-line, once again. Amplify assumes intermediate app development knowledge while being marketed to low-code developers.
### Describe your use case and how the feature would improve your experience.
I think Amplify studio should be reenvisioned because through brute force, videos, and stackexchange I am usually able to get the function I want in the end after many hours. But usually the answer I'm looking for is that "Amplify is bad at this thing" "If you want to do this Amplify it must be done _precisely_ in this particular way..." if Amplify just said that upfront and the studio was designed in a thoughtful, stepwise manner to truly guide a user between the visual space and CLI to completion app development would truly be an expedient process. Not a nightmare in trial and error.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered going back to some of the low-code platforms like Bubble or even appsheet because this can be a nightmare.

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue discusses Amplify Studio, the Amplify CLI, and how they interact with the AWS ecosystem, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the reported workflow and identifying where Studio and the CLI currently guide users; completion would require a defined, stepwise experience that explains the source of truth and the required actions.
