Hello Marco, No one GUI builder doesn't fit well, because a lot of custom qooxdoo things. Yes, XUL it's a standard but we chose another way. Why? We didn't want to create another language. It's funny but it's true. If you know qooxdoo you need just a little time to start, because names of widgets are the same as qooxdoo classes and names of attributes are the same as properties in those classes.
I think the better way to adapt existing GUI builder to existing format than create new format to adapt to existing builder. There are a lot of limitations in XUL regarding qooxdoo, there are a lot of limitations in existing XUL GUI builders. Do you really need it? :) Use QXML and GUI builders will appear. :) Anyway, we are interested in your work. Use qxtransformer mailing-list if you have questions regarding QxTransformer.
