[Gtk-sharp-list] Newbie in GTK#:Glade, To use or not ?

[Anset]

Hi,

I understand that there are two views on this matter, Below is mine. I 
do not wish to convert anyone, only give my opinion.

In any case, the glade people are doing a fantastic job, but it justnot 
for me...

I for one started using Glade, then threw it out because, like all 
builders, it limits what you can do.

For the same reason, my html "editor" is notepad on windows and gedit on 
linux.

Glade works very good for very simple applications, but if you want to 
do anything "more" it works against you.

Secondly, glade makes it hard to tweak your app.

Agreed, writing all the code yourself takes more time, but affter a 
while, you get used to it and never look back.

wkr,

Anset
