> Everything is code, the UIs for creating such interfaces are just abstractions. The code generated by those no-code approaches to interface design... I'm not sure you're replying to the same thing. I never used VB much, but Delphi was not and is not no-code. In fact it emphasised using libraries a lot ('components' in its terms are classes provided by libraries) and the UI had a text description, which was streamed and created at runtime. Delphi today could indeed create something doing this just as fast, and you wouldn't draw a trackbar and hope it's recognised in the image by the AI... you'd drop an actual trackbar.
