This is good, and it works well. The issue (as others may have pointed out) is not that simple apps _can't_ be produced, it's that they _won't be accepted_ when they are. The same thing happened to TCL/Tk ... it "doesn't look right" so is dismissed. By and large, the driving force seems to be those who want to pay for "sexy dashboards", usually but not limited to those whose primary motivation is initial impact. Aesthetics are everything - functionality is secondary. Snake oil sells. Things that "look old" are laughed out of the room. It's unhealthy.
