I often wonder why more user interface tools aren't designed visually from the beginning. Why bother coming up with a text based abstraction that needs an interpreter. Why not just start writing a gui editing tool from the beginning and just spit interfaces to a binary format?
I guess this is why glade XML and EFL's edc files bother me. I feel like all this work is being put into the interpreter and the ui text language when the developers could just spend more time making a kick-ass gui tool.
Maybe it's because making good guis is hard...
