I've built UI's with Qt, Gtk, swing, VBA, Access, winforms, WPF, TK, html/css and more I can't remember and I stay away from front end webdev these days because the tools are such a tyre fire and way less productive than what we were using > 20 years ago. I find the people that like most of the current tooling grew up with it, don't know any better and don't want to learn.

> Qt, Gtk, swing, VBA, Access, winforms, WPF, TK These aren't web-native so I don't think the comparison is particularly salient. Building on the web is a business requirement, all the tools are to make that requirement manageable.
