Uhhh, aren't native GUI toolkits "responsive" by definition? I remember in VB6 you could have elements take up a given % of its container, and I am pretty sure you could even make them appear/disappear programmatically (e.g., depending on container width). Sure you didn't have to make it work across a huge set of resolutions, but it was quite flexible still.
wxWidgets sizers raise their hands!
I liked Delphi's anchors. They were extremely simple, visually defined, and met all of my layout needs.
Those were nice because you would start with floating elements that you'd move around with the mouse until you'd figure out a good layout and then add the anchors at the end and make it all flexible. Delphi was all about having a smooth progression from mockup to prototype to production. Compared to it, current web workflows are outright retarded.
