At Resolver we have the full version of Visual Studio, but we still use 
the forms editor to create C# code.

We use it just to create the GUI layer (mainly for our dialogs), making 
sure that all the attributes are set to protected. Then we subclass in 
IronPython.

Having all the dialog sources in C# makes sure we are never tempted to 
modify them by hand. :-)

This works very well for us.
