Hi Tim, I do tend to agree with you that GUI generation can be useful as a startpoint, but that most real-world applications will demand much a richer GUI that will need subsequent, manual intervention.
There are 2 other areas where auto-GUI generation can be useful. One is in the area of user-defined forms, a common feature in many applications. The other is in the area of requirements gathering and prototyping, either for EHR aplication development or wider standards development work.
