There's even a GUI builder (SpecTCL) for TCL/Tk, which isn't _that_
complicated. There's a good reason for having GUI builders that has
nothing to do with the complexity of GUI libraries:
User Interface Design is a *different* skill from programming.
People who are good at GUI design, as in "able to map work flows
to GUIs in such a way that their intended users can perform
their tasks with little error, confusion, or frustration",
are not necessarily good programmers.
