Still don't understand how we went from this to modern GUI toolkits.

It looks and works so intuitively.

HTML/CSS is still amazing if you aren't using one of the flat frameworks. Modern UIs are really nice for actual function, it's just the obsession with flatness that's the problem.

But with CSS you can get this kind of look, and then go even further, adding rounding and textures and all the things that are natural and obvious extensions on a high res screen.
