I always liked tools like Glade for GTK or Qt Designer where you design your application with a GUI in a WYSIWYG fashion, producing an XML file.
Then connect the elements (widgets) to the signal handlers in your programming language of choice.
Now, you can even customize the style of your widgets through CSS.
The current state of web development only lacks that graphical editor, instead of XML/CSS/whatever you have HTML/CSS/JS.
With CSS frameworks like Bulma[1], Bootstrap[2], Tailwind[3], or component frameworks like Quasar[4], Vuetify[5], etc... I think one could develop a "No-Code" IDE to design GUIs. We'll get there in a few years for sure.
There may already be some project like this[6].
