in reply to GUI builders, good or bad?

I usually don't like things like Gui builders, because they tend to generate code that's quite unmanageable - it works fine as long as you don't have to touch it, but if you have to, it's a royal PITA. I have never used Prima, so maybe that's different.

    Even if I won't use the code a GUI-Builder produces, I prefer to use it because it still gives me the freedom of easy design, spitting out the xy-coordinates I need. Illustrator and (milimeter scale) paper are nice design tools I use as well, but hell I am to lazzy to fiidle around with xy-coordinates.
