Using a GUI Designer vs. hard coding
#6
For a simple GUI, the designer can be a good choice. I think messy code would be more suited than garbage to describe the auto-generated code. Everything that needs to be there is there, but the variable naming scheme and overall organization is quite a mess (it is not meant to be read).

If you want, you can even use both. In a rather complex app, I left a blank space for some widgets that need to be subclassed, but I still use designer for the overall layout. In the end, writing the layout from scratch is the best way to do it, but definitely not the easiest. IMO that part is quite boring and placing the widget in a grid layout is no fun at all.
