You may be disturbed by GUI builders that read and write the GUI info in one kind of language (like a .rc script) and write generated Ada code from that information, which is a one-way process. It is so disturbing for a purist that you call it an obstacle. You'd like to have it all in Ada: i.e. a GUI builder that is able to understand the Ada code, display the objects, allow the user to modify them and add other, or even create a class tree, and whenever you press save, you have the Ada code (eventually several packages) updated ? Sure it is possible, based on ASIS of course. Certainly a couple of full years of programming.
