During my time with the Mac, from 1993 to 1997, I did virtually all of my dev on HyperCard. The exception was writing some "code resources" in C to access hardware functions.
Then I switched to Windows and used Visual Basic for too many years.
Today, Python. What's really happened is that I've walked away from the platform wars, and only use tools that run on any modern OS.
I've embraced Tkinter. What I've realized is that my main reason for needing to arrange GUI's by hand was to make efficient use of (by today's standards) tiny displays. My GUI's were never going to be liberating or beautiful because I'm not that good.
Now I can afford for my UI's to be less efficient of screen space, and Tkinter gets things good enough to be usable if expectations are realistic.
