HTML and css are great for making application GUIs. I used a bunch of frameworks like qt and Java <some kind of verb> and wpf and they were all worse than php, css and HTML.

I would argue that Tk is even better for making GUIs.

Here is a simple Tcl/Tk application: https://rkeene.org/viewer/projects/tkweb/test1.tk.htm

And here's what that application looks like (in a web browser, as well as natively, bear in mind that this from 2003): https://rkeene.org/viewer/projects/tkweb/tkweb-test1-2.png.h...

Can you describe the resulting layout as well as interactions as well in HTML ?
