Hours for a single screen ? Exactly what I'm talking about. The fact you think that's quick is worrying.

You are the second person to say this, what are you doing that's faster?

I'm talking from start-to-finish creating the UI, wiring into business-logic, handling UI state, making it fully responsive, etc...

I've used WPF, QT, some old java swing stuff, and the Android studio layout editor, and none of them are a fraction as fast and capable as a well setup react web application (which to be fair, took a good chunk of time to setup).
