All GUIs should be built as UI Figures

[k1o0]

We should move away from GUI Layout Toolbox and begin re-writing mc as with uifigure. MATLAB has completely overhauled its UI framework and for future-proofing we should move with the times. The new framework has more support for unit testing and layout design.

do we definitely want to do this? I'm not against this, but gui layout toolbox serves us well currently, and this would require a lot of work and updating our dependencies.

are you talking about a specific version of MATLAB here?

for future-proofing we should move with the times

Can you be more explicit with what you mean by this? How do you see this being more future proof than gui layout toolbox, which also updates its versions but maintains backwards compatibility with older versions of MATLAB?
