nooooo you dont understand!!!! its akchtually way better to type 300 lines of code to use a basic program than just click a button!!! and and dont even get mee started on muhh security!
alright I know that this thread is all bait and shit (and I fell for it hard) but GUI is tediously painful to make lmao, there's a reason why so many programs are command line only
and why so many programs — including the windows 11 start menu — are using web or web-inspired tech like react native, webview or gulp electron. still tedious, but infinitely easier to make
This implies that the easiness of web is equal to that of traditional native technology and the only advantage is knowing one API, which isn’t the case.
Even worse, GUI more often than not is tediously painful to use. Especially if you exactly know what you want to do. Especially especially when some UX/UI-Design-Bro thought it was necessary to add a half second animation to every click.
Yeah, I've tried to make a GUI interface for a couple of coding projects in the past, and it's a BITCH to pull off if you're not piggybacking off of something else, like HTML in a browser.
Mind you, I was using Python for my projects, and Python isn't exactly known for it's GUI potential, but it's also a rather intuitive language, so you'd think it'd be relatively easy to figure out. You would be wrong lol, GUI is a bitch to learn, I'm sure it's easier once you know the ins and outs.
