The web platform is still garbage. I want something with the simplicity of Classic MacOS, or GTK2, where for e.g. a text editing page like a wiki, I have a toplevel "App" component, and inside a combination of VerticalBox, and HorizontalBox for layout, with a MenuBar on top and a TextBox on the bottom, and some buttons. In total, a tree with a depth of max 4-5, and sane defaults so I never have to think about the "CSS rendering algorithm", divs, CSS selectors, Z-index or other useless details like that, which should be left to those designing a skin for the UI components library. Web design hasn't caught up with desktop UI frameworks of 30 years ago.
