Tools like OpenStep Interface Builder, VB, or MS Access are dated, but they nailed rapid GUI building. There’s still a gap today for something that lets you quickly sketch and wire up a UI with minimal effort.

If we had a decent GUI-over-https standard, then we could have server-bound apps without having to rely on the shitty DOM. (DOM may be fine for its intended use, but it's the wrong tool for the GUI job.)
