With all the GUI crap going on in software development, I am starting to miss MFC and BCG libraries, I know it is not feasable for most developers to code in c++ but at that time the GUI, even if run over RDP, was fast, responsive, now I having a feeling like 386 was faster than todays i7+. And to cirmuvent obvious incapability of RAD to provide decent user expirience, they are changing our UI percepction from trendy perspective, leveling everything to flat and extremly simple, like ncurses on graphical desktop. =/
