Even if there were a RAD IDE for GUI applications based on 
HTML/CSS/JavaScript, I wouldn't have recommended it anyway, because 
JavaScript - with all its pitfalls - is hardly a language that is 
suitable for hobbyists.  GUI programming done the old way is still the 
easier route for a hobbyist programmer.

Java, C# and Python all ship with GUI support.
