That's the point. If the GUI logic could be separated from the program
logic, which is a Holy Grail, but absolutely unrealistic, then it would be
no matter in which language the stuff was generated, Ada or C. You would
not never look at it.

Unfortunately the reality is that the GUI and the functional part of the
program are tightly interwoven. Therefore you need to be in full control of
both and want to shape the program's structure as you want for the sake of
clear design and maintainability (Ada's strengths). Any automatically
generated code is just an obstacle here.

Sorry for sounding daemon's voice again. (:-))
