I think Windows Forms (C#/VB.NET) is still as easy.

Agreed. And now we also have edit and continue for .Net while debugging. Another thing, GUI libraries for Winforms like Devexpress are super rich and offer a lot out of the box.

MFC is still around as well. I've been using it for 25 years now. Its drag-n-drop GUI builder is similar to the one in VB6.

And as surprisingly as it may seem, its tooling in Visual Studio is still way better than C++/WinRT after 5 years being pushed as the "future".
