Visual Basic 6 - arguably the most accessible way of creating GUI apps.

you still have Lazarus, "a Delphi compatible cross-platform IDE for Rapid Application Development."

  • Lazarus seems like a fantastic GUI builder, but the problem with it (and VB6) is that I have to use a language with 0.01% the ecosystem of Python.

  • Lazarus is nice but both its apis and the ui feel like they're still stuck in the early 00's. It's not enough to look like VB6 / Delphi these days; you've got to keep up with what kinds of conventions we expect now.
