I wonder if it might be time for a new “boring” UI framework.
GTK often gets selected over Qt because it’s so much easier build high quality idiomatic language bindings for, has a good selection of widgets out of the box, and doesn’t rock the boat following a plain old imperative model like has been used for ages.
With that in mind, there’s probably room for a new imperative UI framework that’s designed to be easy to bind to and is highly “batteries included”. It wouldn’t aim to be revolutionizing anything, but would let you build things with minimal fuss or churn on your terms (with allowance for well-defined “happy paths”, of course).
