Every time I see something like this I think back to the glorious days of Borland Delphi with it's beautiful drag&drop GUI builder.
You don't even have to go back that far. XAML and C# developed with Visual Studio and Expression Blend is a fantastic experience, it almost makes me wish Silverlight was still around.

Since then, I've seen .NET within Visual Studio almost get to the same quality we had with Delphi in 1995, but still way off.
Now that everything's a web app wrapped in something like Electron, it should be so much easier to have tooling like this, but yet we're all still building hugely complicated HTML rendering pipelines for something that was a solved problem a couple of decades ago.
Great idea! Tkinter always looks a little dated and PyQT is more than my brain wants to deal with when I need a simple GUI.
I think Tk widgets are themable.

Too bad, Pascal is not really popular. If only there were similar thing (cross-platform GUI library) but for Go or Rust languages.
Popularity shouldn't be the deciding factor for tools of any kind.

Tools get popular for a reason. You get community support and a test-of-time guarantee that whatever you invest in today is more likely to last compared to the niche choice.

Qt has both Qt Designer and Qt Creator to build GUIs with drag and drop.
PS: I really love Qt. It lets me do things no other framework can easily do. I love building performant, graphically heavy and fast user interfaces. It just wasn't built for mass-producing desktop forms that are connected to a DB.
In the example, there is the button called 'Calculate' and then action define in "gui.Calculate" block. But what if the name of the button was 'Calculate it'(with the space between words)? The action header would be gui.'Calculate it'?
I love how the imports in https://github.com/alfiopuglisi/guietta/blob/master/guietta/... are ordered from shortest to longest. Makes them look like stairs! Very aesthetically pleasing :). Might take that up in my next project.
