I'll take Win95 in a heartbeat; consistent, accessible, responsive and clear. Vastly superior to the majority of web interfaces.

Also totally inflexible, you better have the right-sized screen/resolution: too small and you can't see that "ok" button; too large and you'll have a ridiculously small and crammed winform to fill/see your information.

Most cross platform toolkits support layout managers, since Motif days.

Actually even WinForms supports them, even though too many are happily doing fixed canvas positioning without using them.

Windows has shipped an accessibility magnifier since the 90s, before hidpi was a thing.
