A "wizard" is pretty much what people have been wanting, and is really what Pavel was asking about. But layout syntax highlighting and the like would also be welcome.

can you enumerate for what particular things you would use wizard?

I think a lot of our users just find layout creation and editing to be a black art. That's certainly the sense you get on the user list. So I think some kind of simple "wizard"---that is, more or less what you're calling a database sheet, if I understand you correctly---would already go a long way towards helping people create simple layouts.
