Most are probably still easier/saner to use & program with than the goddam DOM/HTML/CSS rendering via bloated JS libraries. We sorely need a state-ful GUI markup standard so we can get desktop-friendly GUI's over HTTP instead of rely on binary, proprietary, and/or DOM-JS-bloat tools. I kept hoping the web would eventually grow decent GUI standards, but it never did. Social networks and dancing-cat videos got all the attention, not real-work-GUIs. DOM is inherently the wrong tool for the job, and fixing it would break backward compatibility.
