>Something as common as a combobox (a textbox + dropdown, ideally with autocomplete) is still a pain to implement, requiring understanding positioning, anchoring, z-indices, scrollbars (and how they're different across operating systems), media queries, word-wrapping, box sizing, etc. And that's just the CSS side.*
Or you can just use one of the 20000 available such components. A combobox is a pain to implement in native code without a GUI library too.
