The GUI page is a bit out of date imo, or I'm not sure how does the selection work because there are countles GUI options nowadays. Anyways some of the best options are not even mentioned like Nocheto https://nocheto.sallyx.org/ https://nocheto.sallyx.org/ (this my favorite) ChessMD https://chessmd.org/ https://chessmd.org/ PyChess https://pychess.github.io/about/ https://pychess.github.io/about/

I have tried En Croissant and its personally its a nice GUI and easy to use. It allows you to download stockfish and others right from their GUI.

  Amused me the first time I ran En Croissant, it lets you download existing chess databases and one of those (Caissabase) was my project from years ago :). I don't play Chess much any more but others have taken up the Chess DB mantle (with slightly different criteria). I do find it ironic that a project I did in a couple of days for myself and chucked online in case it was useful is still kicking around though. If you like En Croissant there is a nice fork called Pawn Appetit that does all the same things and adds some other QoL bits and bobs.

I really like ChessX ( https://chessx.sourceforge.io/ https://chessx.sourceforge.io/ ). Pychess was always unstable and slow for me. Anyways. Now I can use an even better Stockfish to benchmark my own engine..

Shameless self promotion: If you’re a Mac user and want something with native look and feel, there is also The Marvelous Brass Chessplaying Automaton (TestFlight beta): https://testflight.apple.com/join/mqfhpmHY https://testflight.apple.com/join/mqfhpmHY There are also iOS and watchOS versions, but those can’t run 3rd party engines like Stockfish.
