I used the 1990s RAD tooling, and in many regards, the results were mediocre at best. Changing a window size could kill your form, to say nothing of font size.

The live aspect was great, though.

90's RAD tooling also supported layout managers, devs just have to actually use them.

Also RAD tooling is about the whole stack, not just dragging stuff into forms.

But you would expect 20 years to be enough time to improve RAD tooling in areas it wasn't so great at for modern devices. Instead, at least as far as the web is concerned, it's mostly been missing.
