I know wonder if you are a troll.

Each time we are talking about GUI you still comparing the number of
lines of code. Stop promoting your toolkit because it has less lines
of code and saying other toolkits are bloat and complex. A software is
not necessary more complex by having more lines of code.

If your GUI only offers buttons, combobox and lists while a toolkit
provides file chooser, color selector, web view, tabs, stacks, themes,
etc, it is not bloat or complex but obviously has more lines of code.
It just has more features.
