I have. I used to be a GUI developer, back in the days when everyone wrote native desktop applications. But I noped out of it pretty hard after rich Web applications and Electron started taking over.

When I was in my teens and 20s, I enjoyed complexity, because understanding complicated things made me feel smart. That meant I had an incredible tolerance for needless complexity.

Now that I've been around the block a few times, though, I just don't have patience for that kind of thing anymore. It all reminds me of the Wallace and Gromit cartoons. Wallace is a very smart and clever inventor, and his inventions are very smart and very clever and very silly.
