I think gui should be releases in summer. And mid next year there should be a hard fork of monero. But not sure if this is correct though.

Maybe not the best place to ask, but why does it take so much more time?

Because nobody's working on one.

Which is basically the same as Bassica's answer :-P

It's a matter of prioritization, really. Check out the dev roadmap on getmonero.org, and see what they've done instead.

@Rias, I am curious, how would you improve the website? I think it is fairly OK at the moment.
