Django, bootstrap and a sprinkling of jQuery works really well and results in simple code that can be maintained by a single dev. Bootstrap is only 11 years old. jQuery is 15 years old. Django is 18 years old.

jQuery is used by 94% of the websites that use JavaScript.

None of those are gui toolkits, though. At best, you are pointing to html working rather well at it. Though, that is more force of will from developers, as html was specifically not a front end toolkit at the outset.

You're comparing apples and oranges.
