A good point.

Not using a GUI builder for a toy or hobby project might be an option.
But for a serious non-trivial GUI you should nearly always use a
builder. Its like the difference between using assembler and a high
level language.
That being said, I should mention that I didn't find Glade significanly
worse than the various Motif-based GUI builders I'm used to. With those
you also need to at least know some basics about Motif widgets and how
they can be put together. But I don't know how it compares to the
Windows-based GUI builders, which I think was the comparison being
drawn. I haven't used any of them. Perhaps they are far easier.
Of course this entire discussion is really a Glade issue, not an Ada
one.
