After bouncing around GUI toolkits (from win32 to SwiftUI) and web for 30 years I have simply run out of fucks. They all suck. Each in their own unique way. Apple aren't worth singling out - they are just their own special isolated variant of it.

Tcl/Tk is pretty good in terms of rapid development. Unfortunately it has stagnated quite a lot over the years.

Gtk on the other hand is absolutely terrible and its developers don't help by completely rewriting things every few years and breaking all existing code in the process.

But, why? It's been 30 years. You'd think somebody would have figured out how to make a decent GUI toolkit or framework.
