I've been building UIs for 20 years, and the tools we have now are the best I've ever had the pleasure to work with. It's more fun now than ever. More please.

Can you provide a shortlist of the tools you use?

The list won't solve any of your specific problems.

I had a much better list, then the previous Poster, because it solve my problems the best way.

Did you need my list now too?

I am absolutely sure, that somebody else had a better list.

That's part of the frustration for people coming from other specialties. Why are your problems so different from mine as to have a different "best" list of tools? We're both building web-based UIs. We should be using basically the same tools.

Except now we have to target 3 different mobile platforms, the web, and possibly 3 different native desktop environments.

Where is the progress in that?

You develop for large and small screens, with either keyboard/mouse or touchscreen inputs. That's all.

The specifics are supposed to be automatically handled by preprocessing and deployment tools, or only cared for in the optimization/final polish phase.

That we actually can target all of them more or less easily?
