That's probably true.  But my philosophy is that tools shouldn't be more
complicated than the problem they're supposed to solve.
If it takes me half an hour to code a screen of my GUI by hand, and I could
do it in five minutes in a designer - and not spend an extra half hour after
that cleaning it up by hand - then hurrah for the designer.  Sign me up!
But if, to achieve the proper level of proficiency with the designer, I have
to invest many hours of study and practice... well, it's going to be a hard
sell.  I'd rather be coding.
