I'm thinking of bringing back Basic but with a twist. Hear me out. You'd have a forms package built in. It would be a visual approach for programming business apps. Haven't come up with a clever name for it yet.

What about "Visual "? Since, you know, it's visual. This idea sounds promising. Who knows... you might even get one of the tech giants interested! Some of them have a lot of business customers that could use something like this.

If only we could bundle it with the world's most commonly used tabular data tool, it could run the entire world

IMO it's better long-term for an individual to just learn Next.js, React, Tailwind.css (my preference), and TypeScript. You will be a better developer than using something like this.

Those sound like tools used to build a production, customer-facing webapp. Whereas this framework and others like it seem targeted at internal things, like some buttons and textboxes for an internal "admin" page or similar.

Don't you think that would be going too far? I worry what unholy creations people might come up with... A tabular data tool with a full development environment might just be too much power concentrated in a single application.
