The conversation often goes like this.

creating UI's in VB6 was so much faster and easier than html+css

yeah, but they're not reactive to resolution changes.

me: but they could have been updated rather than throwing them away and going with the complexity of today's solution.

the person i was talking to seemed to be saying the opposite: that vb6 uis adapted better to window size changes than html. i'd like to understand what they meant

css has gotten pretty complex, but html isn't inherently complex
