I don't know. Some of the things I could do with a pirated copy of VB5 as a 14 year old would take me 10x as long to do on the web even using modern tools which I'm reasonably familiar with.
- YesWeWill 4y agoHmm, your Vb5 apps were responsive? Mine definitely weren't - but it's fairly easy with Flexbox/Grid. But yeah, having such a nice GUI designer would be awesome - I miss Delphi a lot, and the WinForms designer was good too. Now finally Flexbox/Grid have support on all major browsers so perhaps we could get this part of the workflow back.
- VBprogrammer 4y agoHaha, mobile phones came with snake at the time. No one expected to be browsing the internet on them (which had barely passed into mainstream use). I remember around the time my dad's friend coming over with his work laptop (a rare thing at the time) to show us "the internet". Everyone just assumed a lowest common denominator resolution and got on with it!
- YesWeWill 4y agoMy pet peeve was not being able to use 2 windows next to each other on my 1280x1024 screen because the UIs assumed full screen usage. Phones - for sure, that's a modern development. But it's been more than a decade now, there are adult people who don't remember world without iPhones and Androids! Crazy... Myself, I started on Windows 98, but it's Windows XP (and Delphi) that defines my childhood.
