Programming languages in general do not include GUIs. For instance C++ does not have any output options, unless it adds secondary libraries such as stdio.

Similarily, .NET does not have much of a GUI on the language level. The GUI is provided by additional technologies, such as WinForms, WebForms, DirectX, and others. Many .NET apps run as services (windows services as well as web services).

VFP is somewhat special in this regard. Whether CreateObject("Form") should be considered part of the programming language is probably debatable, but VFP does have things like WAIT WINDOW that create UI. But there are few. Even things like a simple MessageBox() do not come from the VFP language, but from the Windows API instead.
