Is there a visual GUI builder for Tkinter? What I like about gtk/glade
is a good separation between the code of graphical elements and the code
of funcionality/behaviour (somewhat similar to CSS). The widgets are
designed and customized with Glade application that generates a xml
(.glade) file that can be supplied directly to the python script.
In theory, it is very clean and simple.
So I'd like to have a visual GUI builder. I have many problems to
imagine the GUI in my mind when writing code.

Could you explain better what do you mean with "industrial-looking UI"?
What can I do and what *can't* I do with Tkinter?

It seems nice. Does it use the native look&feel on Windows?

I'm not sure this sentence is correct. *Big* services (mainly social,
facebook, linkedin, ...) have a custom mobile app for Android and iOS.
They also have a website (I can check my Facebook profile through a
simple web browser or through the related app), but they insist to
install an app.
