The real crazy thing is that Delphi/VB got UIs right in the 90s and the JS folks keep reinventing everything.

I loved that era and it was great, but it didn’t handle resizing to fit different screen sizes well at all.

I’m still holding out for a similar interface builder that can handle responsive design.

Layout managers handle window resizing, which heavily overlap. Started using them in the 90s.

Did it, though? I don't think I've used a Delphi/VB-based application like... ever? I've made some myself back in the day and fiddled around with my friend's university assigments, but I can't think of any real world application using it. Maybe you have some examples?

What are examples of successful Delphi/VB UIs?

You know there may be a market out there for no code ui editors. At least for admin like uis. One that gets it right.
