Building a Kubernetes Operator with the Operator Framework
To support visual feedback for the users who are using tools like Openlens, we can add a +kubebuilder:printcolumn annotation to the MyApp struct. To do so, add the following code to the MyApp struct:
- Imagine the best Kubernetes Dashboard. What does it have?

Lazydocker
There is also OpenLens (https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens). And for anyone switching from Lens, pod shell and logs functionality can be found as an extension.

'ekscli' vs. 'aws eks'
`openlens` is now preferred over `Lens`, it has everything you need and none of the fluff that Lens wants to charge you for.

Stupid question? Lens vs OpenLens vs Monokle
It's actually called OpenLens: https://github.com/lensapp/lens#readme but I don't think the official repo offers binary builds of it. Someone does here though: https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens

Quick story about adding essential functionality that is missing in the 6.3.0 version of Openlens
It's already at OpenLens readme file: https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens

Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?
You can use Lens which also offers a free license. I would also take a look at OpenLens. You stated that you were looking for something GUI-centric, but I would also take a look at k9s to help you dig deep into your cluster, quickly.

How do you administrate your cluster on windows?
For managing clusters via Windows, check out WSL2 + k9s and OpenLens

Yep Rancher or K3s is a good start. As is OpenLens.

K8s Service Meshes: The Bill Comes Due
Any, it doesn’t matter which as long as you don’t have to count spaces in yaml by hand.
If you really want a concrete recommendation try https://cdk8s.io/.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
CDK8s - CDK8s is used to define Kubernetes resources and applications. CDK8s uses the high-level abstraction concept called constructs to represent various Kubernetes resources such as deployments, services, and configurations. Developers can write code in programming languages like TypeScript, Python, and Java, and CDK8s will translate this code into standard Kubernetes YAML manifests that can be directly applied to a Kubernetes cluster.

I built a React renderer for Kubernetes configurations
Have you looked into https://cdk8s.io/? I've been using it for a while now, and I must admit TypeSript does help a lot. Not really sold on your React syntax yet, but well done nevertheless

How are most EKS clusters deployed?
I, personally, prefer to wrap it in CDKTF/CDK8S in golang and manage with Crossplane Composition Functions, but your mileage may vary. I'm finding way too bugs in CDK's... but it calms me a bit, that Amazon folks actually looking into it.

Editing Badly formatted yaml file
Have you looked into cdk8s? That will let you get away from dealing with yaml and let you use code instead. Helm included.

kpt, cue, ... Your experiences?
My favorite is cdk8s + typescript.
