I do not think that you would be able to do ActiveX, COM, OLE, MFC, C++ after 2 weeks of bootcamp. Yes, Delphi and Visual Basic simplified many of it but there were still many challenges to develop and ship your software. Just shipping alon

Browser capabilities exploded dramatically as well as hardware, this is why we have Figma and virtual machines running in the browser. So the answer to this question seems obvious to me. It would be odd if UI complexity stayed the same.

https://material-ui.com/system/basics/ It looks like Material UI has its own implementation of styled-system which is great! They should have started with something like that from the start :-)

Once webassembly becomes a thing, we can leave the web to the documents and migrate all the apps to the bytecode. That should bring peace to many HTML designers.
