I believe I share your experience quite fully. I enjoy using GUI
builders, but I have always preferred getting into the nuts and bolts
of the code. GTK is a horse of a different color, however, when
compared to most other GUI libraries, owing to the fact that it's
written entirely in C. Your forced to learn all of the nitty gritty
details. I'm not sure I have the time required to do that, hence my
interest in Glade. At least, Gate produces Ada code that you can then
modify to your specific needs. That creates somewhat of a bridge
between the 2 worlds.

Thanks for your candor.
