But simplify the menus, then change styles around it, or add custom icons.  Really, some part is always the same, and there is too much too it.  It looks like PowerBasic, Assembly Language for Windows, and it just seems like you could bunch the commonly all too often repeated commands together in just what you really do, and what really describes what you see on the screen.  Oh, yea, I forgot X and Y should be relative to the GUI, not the position on the screen, maximized or minimized.

This could be as simple and easy as some of this has been made in SciLab. Ease of Use is prioty one if you ask me.  I don't see a practical language anywhere.  Html and Java are easy compared to this noise, and it shouldn't more complicated when you can almost do as much with HTML and CSS in forms.  Why is the syntax so different when it's just an issue of style, and why can't it be summed up as a drop down list of styles where all you see is icons that model it.
