The majority of tools for native apps desktops and mobile OSes (minus deployment) still comes close to Delphi.

Now for the web, nevermind.




I don't do desktop app dev, but what tools are there? I'm aware of .NET under Visual Studio and NetBeans UI designer.


.NET has Windows Forms and XAML Visual Studio designer, and Blend for XAML.

Java has Netbeans Matisse for Swing, Eclipse WindowsBuilder for Swing and SWT, Scene Builder for JavaFX, Android Studio designer. Not sure what InteliJ offers.

Objective-C and Swift have the XCode GUI design tools, based on the NeXTStep development environment.

C++ has UI designers for Qt/QML, C++ Builder, UWP/XAML.

Object Pascal has Delphi and Lazarus.

Xojo as Visual Basic dialect also has its own designer.

Commercial Common Lisp environments like Alegro CL and LispWorks also have their designers in the tradition of Lisp Machines.

Smalltalk environments also have GUI designers.

These are just some examples that come to my mind.
