Exactly. I am still looking for an easy to use Interface Builder. The
only one I have found yet can be found in the XCode tools from apple.

Neither windows nor linux can come up with a real alternative.

The problems with most UI Builders is that they are not intuitive and a
pain to use. I don't know what problems your tool had but I am certainly
faster with glade than if I had to write that by hand.
