It must be terrible for modern programmers who can't pick their own tools. I built a trivial GUI app in about 2 minutes to show my child this morning in Lazarus[1], a GUI builder that runs on Windows. (It'll also build for Linux, et al. I've even run Lazarus on a Raspberry Pi Zero W) Pick your GUI elements, drop them into the forms, hook up some events, and you're golden. The key to success on the Windows platform is to ignore the .net obsession that Microsoft has wasted decades of work on, and stick with the tried and true Win32 api set.
