I think this comment is out of date. Certainly, early J had limited gui facilities compared with APLs, but at least since J5, J has gui support that is perfectly adequate for typical desktop applications. Moreover if you really want something fancier, then you can write the gui in another toolkit such as Qt or Electron and call J under the covers. Jqt is itself written in Qt and calls J this way. Apart from the gui, I find the J IDE to be much more productive than any of APLs, which to me always seem rather clunky.
