Sure, I agree with you. Makeshift interfaces surely have their place and I was duly impressed by the demos. They are fucking cool, and cliché, I'm not typically interested in higher math unless it's showing me insights related to me earning money.

This is all well and good, unless you title linkbait "Why Spend More than Five Minutes on a GUI?".
It wasn't "Build a Nifty Mathematical Experimentation GUI in 5 Minutes in Mathematica," or even "Build a Nifty GUI in 5 Minutes in Mathematica," or "Explore Math! 5 Minute GUI," any of which would have been accurate and still interesting.
Instead, it appeals directly to the base (and incorrect) belief that so many developers have, that UI is an unimportant afterthought that can be dispensed with, if they only find the right combination of readymade widgets.
In 5 minutes!
Ugh.
