Sounds like you have done a lot of fiddling and not really
dug in. I would suggest that you concentrate on one of these
tools and really learn it. Because for several of these tools,
I know people who have found them very successful once they
understood the technology well.

Of course a lot depends on what you are trying to do. If you
just want to quickly throw together a trivial application, then
most certainly these are not the ideal tools, although they are
quite servicable for this purpose. But the typical Ada
application is considerably more sophisticated, and requires
much more than a thrown-together interface.

That being said, I have see demos of people using GLADE (not
even mentioned above, but I assume you have used it), which
are pretty impressive in terms of churning out a simple
interface fast.
