The gate3 tool is not intented for incremental development. It just ouputs a sketch (with stubs for the callbacks). It is almost stupid but saves time of typing repetitive code. For complete newbies, they can get a prototype very quickly. And the advantage of Gtkbuilder is the good decoupling between UI and code. One can modify the XML/glade file for layout and re-run the app without any recompilation The perfect tool does not exist, but if you have one stupid tool that saves= you 3 hours on a 3-day project that's not bad. On a 1 man-year project, you don't care.
