You may not need debuggers, but having both the editor and the UI design in
front of you simultaneously is very useful as you're working on individual
buttons and the logic of scrollbars, etc. (short pieces of code that you want
to see what they're attached to easily). I would love it if I could have the
"right" windows visible simultaneously without others popping up in the way
... and that doesn't necessarily mean EITHER gui design tools
OR editing/debugging tools.
