I'm on the same boat as you.

I'm envious of game devs, I do not know what went wrong in web land that we can not have great smooth user interfaces and smooth animations. I'm sorry but the DOM is not it and is holding us so far back its unreal.

I really hope for a shakeup of some kind. Have a skim through this video [0]. An indie game using the Unity interface builder I believe.

Design by committee, design by monopoly, and trying to shoehorn an application platform feature set into a document platform.
