Indeed,
     luckily I can hide behind the people who made that decision about
5 years ago, and spend time worrying about other things :)

But in all seriousness - yes, it was my intention to make that
statement blunt, clear and to the point - since some people might be left
behind on that and better know sooner than later.

Ofcourse, if there's really a need for generated code - maybe some glade
file interpretation scripts could be implemented as plugins of some
IDE or something, although I wouldnt encourage that unless there are real
reasons/use-cases for it (smaller distributions on embedded platforms comes
to mind ? but even then I'd think libglade/libxml2 dependancy is worth
the bloat, and then theres the GMarkup based builder comming in gtk+-2.12
anyway...).

Cheers,
