why use data files when you have an extremely powerful programming
language in your toolbox?  the advantage of building UI's in Python is
that you can quickly create "domain specific UI languages", and use them
to generate the interfaces for you.  UI editors may be useful for trivial
applications, but if you're doing complex stuff, you sure want domain-
specific abstractions.  Python gives you that, XML files don't.
