Is that another way of saying you don't want to make MS Access?

I still use Access quite a bit and I think it's pretty great. It's too bad that nothing like that exists for modern databases.

Sort of, yes. But mostly that I don't want the app to become the "everything to everyone" style of editor. I want it to remain tightly focused on the features that SQLite provides.

It's unlikely that I'll add a form builder or report generator to the app. I don't want it to grow until it can send email.

I kinda wish someone would take SQLite and make something like Access on top of it.

Many years ago, there was a project that tried to do just that using Tcl/Tk, which seems like a fine choice - Tcl is very simple and easy to understand even for on-programmers while its deficiencies aren't really important in this niche, and Tk is one of the easiest UI frameworks around to use. Unfortunately it petered out and I can't even remember the name anymore...
