The last time I tried PySimpleGUI, I felt it was effective for teaching a child how to program a gui, but that was in 2017. I was pretty underwhelmed, to say the least.

Huh... musta been something different. PySimpleGUI wasn't released until July 2018.

I've seen PySimpleGUI confused with SimpleGUI or something similar by a couple of people. Many of the earlier attempts at a simple Python GUI package have been abandoned, so perhaps this is why you've not seen any changes since 2017?

No, it was PySimpleGui. I had the year wrong. I just went through it's documentation two days ago, I couldn't figure out how to disable a text input based on some condition. It really hasn't changed much, but hey there a gozillion themes now.
