But what GUI library does it use? The library is more important than whatever tool you're using to write the code.

  Lazarus uses LCL. I'd argue, it's one of the cases where the tool is actually more important than the library. Funnily enough, there's also the Fresnel library in the works, and it uses CSS for layout. https://www.blaisepascalmagazine.eu/roadmap-for-fpc-and-lazarus/ https://www.blaisepascalmagazine.eu/roadmap-for-fpc-and-laza... https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Fresnel https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Fresnel

  > But what GUI library does it use? The library is more important than whatever tool you're using to write the code. That wasn't important to the GPs point, so how would I know to answer it? This is what I responded to: > > I'd rather use CSS than any other GUI system I've used over the years in C++, Java, Swift, etc. I interpreted GPs comment to be only about preferences for GUI design, not about which implementation is better, or why.

    I'm confused. The parent said that there's no good alternative to CSS, and you suggested Lazarus, which is an IDE, not an alternative to CSS.

      > The parent said that there's no good alternative to CSS, No, the parent said he prefers CSS to the design systems he used with C++, Java and Swift. Those aren't CSS alternatives, so he specifically wasn't comparing CSS alternatives, he was comparing technology.
