Could you please elaborate a little as to why, in your opinion, GUI builders are a waste of time? Is it because the quality of the generated code is unsatisfactory? Or because they are too complex to use?

Also, in case I decide to write all the GUI code manually, which path do you advise me to take: Gtk or Qt? (I only need basic edit windows, dialogs and forms). And are there good tutorials that explain how to do it in an easy way?
