I do not think there is any similarity. Personally I've started with straight machine codes, never mind assembly. Still I gladly use any higher level tools as long as they benefit my ROI.
As for GUI - back in the 90s Borland had already shown how to produce stellar, easy to use performant tools for designing GUI apps.
JS public has had ages to come up with something resembling the same thing. Instead they've unleashed whole bunch of atrocities making themselves into their own victims with all signs of Stockholm's syndrome.

This was a thing a bit like an Apple I or something, but it had no assembler, no editor, no OS. To load a program, you typed it directly into memory in hex. I think (this was a long time ago) it contained an 8080. It had a TV output, and an integrated keyboard with flat membrane "keys". There was no storage - you had to copy stuff off the screen using a pencil and paper. I expect it cost a small fortune. [Edit] Apparently it wasn't an 8080, and it didn't take input/produce output in hex - it used decimal. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2kMIqdfyT8kC&pg=PA242&lpg=PA242&dq=%22ibm+schools+computer%22&source=bl&ots=Mn5urgJCCG&sig=ACfU3U2z6ozWe3Ap4ZkbarXywvKTxMh-pA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjX_5fEran0AhVJ-qQKHUMYBnIQ6AF6BAgnEAM#v=onepage&q=%22ibm%20schools%20computer%22&f=false https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2kMIqdfyT8kC&pg=PA242&lp... I can't find much info about that thing.
