I feel much the same about NeXT's Interface Builder.

It wasn't perfect, but it seems that we threw out $100 of capability to "fix" 10 cents worth of flaws.

Instead of fixing the flaws.

I liked Flash for these reasons too, the way Macromedia fused design, animation and programming was amazing.

Ever looked at GNUstep's GORM?

I'd be interested in an assessment.

Good point!

I haven't really been paying attention to the GUI or dev-tools side of GNUstep, it was just duplicating what I have on macOS and I was more interested in server applications on other platforms.

An obvious mistake, in retrospect.

With Apple destroying both the UI and the development tools, the situation has fundamentally changed and that assessment is no longer valid.

I need to take a closer look!
