Fields in code, rows in the editor.
Custom fields without a builder UI. Declare the fields in code, get sortable repeatable rows in the editor, and keep the definition in version control.
Field builders put the schema in the database, which means it cannot be reviewed, diffed or deployed. Every environment drifts and somebody eventually exports JSON by hand.
Here the schema is a PHP array in the theme. It is reviewable, deployable and identical across environments, and the editor UI is generated from it.
Our field definitions live in git now.

Schema you can review.
Schema in version control
Fields are declared as a PHP array, so the definition is diffable and deploys with the code.
Sortable repeaters
Drag to reorder, with row indexes rewritten so the saved array is always contiguous.
Sanitised per type
Each field type carries its own sanitiser, and nothing is written without a verified nonce.
No lock-in
Values are plain post meta. Deactivate the plugin and the data is still there in a readable shape.
The rest of the field layer.
Everything needed to define fields in code and still give editors a usable interface.
