Modern ui is a mess and frameworks + stackoverflow make it messier. Old desktop APIs , even Win32, were at least built around a model that made some sense and allowed you to use correct abstractions, and there was a logical path to a working solution. Today you try to glue together some random SO answers and some ugly jquery plugins, with no idea why it has to be done this way or how to approach a task in a correct way. Look at basic things like drag&drop, keyboard shortcuts, menus, tab order, field focus management and all stuff that’s important in application ui - why it’s always an ugly and painful hacking with messy and half-baked js , we already had much better tools and replaced them with something that only pretends to be general purpose ui runtime
