And some people think that automatic transmissions are depressing.  To
each his own.

And nothing in Gtk, Qt, Tk, wx, or any other modern toolkit prevents you
from declaratively creating your GUI.  And for small programs there's
nothing wrong with coding the gui by hand (and in fact I recommend it).

As complexity rises, though, I'd rather just code the creative parts of
things, and not busy-code, which is what gui code becomes.  Much of it
is boiler-plate, cut and pasted, etc.
