Yes, although this is revealing in itself as to which languages are suited to which problem domains. Also shows up which platforms are suited to what; if I were building a C++ GUI I'd fire up Visual Studio, unless you told me it had to be cross-platform or not-Windows at which point I'd go back to "cry a lot". (Yes, Xamarin, QT, it's still a lot of work)

I think building non-web GUIs may have become harder since 2006, depending on platform/language.
