> But people discounting coding GUIs left and right, just because they haven't seen a good example of it yet, only discourages others to explore it further. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, to some degree And there are good examples from the past, too. History is important and is often ignored by the wider programming community. Personal computing was more or less invented in GUI programming systems. There are environments and architectures from the 1970s that are highly relevant today but that are ignored or downplayed in the mainstream. Such an attitude will stifle progress for sure.
