I dont so much agree or disagree with you about your note above :) but
I fully agree with this statement. Actually I think the GUIs in itself
are kinda too "powerful", and at the same time suck too much.

My proof of concept are the solutions in the www world. No GUI really
has incorporated such many ideas. (If one knows any toolkit
that easily supports something like this 
http://lipidity.com/fancy-form/demo/
let me know. Yes most things are doable but the question really is
how much work it would be.)

Ruby exactly bridges the gap between "professionals" and 
"non-professional coders".

And this is what I see the www being good at - it can be complex, but
in essence it is still somewhat easy to build fancy stuff with it,
which kinda works on every plattform (just compare that to most GUIs out
there)
