Personally I found it slightly funny but only because there is some truth to it. Sometimes I really miss the smoothness of 90s era of app design - you could create relatively complex interfaces and test them very quickly. And the things you learned in Delphi 1 were still mostly valid in Delphi 6. When I compare it to what is needed to create a modern app in React, there is an abyss of difference - in terms of initial setup, tooling complexity, diagnostics, and maintenance.
Or maybe OP really has worked on all these things. Without more context, it's hard to say.
