Hello,

I know Derrell is working on a GUI designer, but I don't know what the state
is. 

That said, my personal experience so far is that I don't spend much time on
the GUI design itself, but rather with the businesss logic. It seems to me
that the widgets that can be quickly drawn with a GUI designer are those
which are quite trivial to write in code (especially when using a
declarative markup  - I use the XML->Javascript converter QxTransformer
which is available as a contrib). In contrast, the really useful widgets
that combined access control, interactiveness and client-server databinding
require a lot of business logic that cannot be realized in a GUI designer
anyways. So my personal feeling is that I would gain only little from such a
tool.

*That* said,  I would of course welcome a designer and would use it,
especially if it could produce QxTransformer-compliant XML :-)

C.
