Oh, I understand now.  You mean you dislike the old fixed-position,
pixel-based layouts that visual studio used to use, right?   Well, rest
easy, because both Gtk and Qt use layout managers (packing managers)
instead.  Much more flexible, and can automatically resize as a window
sizes, and deal with things like dpi changes.

And in both cases you don't have to use the imperative tools.  You can
still hand-code your GUI in code in Gtk, Qt, or any other gui system.

In any event I think you should give both Glade-3 and Qt Designer a
serious look.  I think your hate of gui designers is about 10 years out
of date now, even if you still prefer not to use them.
