Re: Use of any interface designer - is it worthy?

[Paul Davis <pjdavis engineering uiowa edu>]

Arthur,

Let me preface this with the fact that I am not an interface designer, 
and I tend to consider most of my creations less than visually stunning.

With that said, I do use the Glade interface designer, but not for the 
libglademm XML files.  I generally use Glade as a sandbox to try 
different things quickly.  Once I get an idea of how to create my 
interfaces, implementing it in code is a snap.  Some would say ( Murray 
for example ) that coding your own GUI's is crazy, but I find it easier 
to deal with than keeping track of xml files and the such.
