Subj : Console vs GUI

Hello everybody!

So out of a combination of being bored and trying to keep my brain active,
I wrote a program in pascal.

Wanting to learn modern stuff, I am converting it to run as a GUI app in
Lazarus.

One line of code in pascal becomes a 35 line procedure.  Why is this better then console?

Pascal exe size: 59.5kb
Lazarus exe size: 24MB.

Plus the lazarus one doesn't work right yet.  Just amazing to me the pure bloat in modern GUI programming languages.
