But I assume it's also possible to use Cambalache already. Most important functionality should work.
It's also possible to write UI files by hand instead of using Glade.

So for the sake of sanity, please use *some* RAD tool. Besides, AFAIK GtkBuilder isn't deprecated, just Glade itself is being rewritten/replaced. We used Glade for quite a while despite it being WIP/in beta, with GNOME's reluctance to declare something stable I'm not sure a WIP RAD tool is inherently a bad idea. But I *am* sure that doing gtk_box_add() by hand is the road to insanity. So I would very strongly recommend using Cambalance --- and to use the opportunity to clean up the GUIs ;-).

I personally have no issue with moving away from glade as RAD tool as I find it very cumbersome myself. Note, however, that it will also mean writing a lot of code that is currently hidden behind those glade XML files. OTOH moving to a WIP RAD tool is also not such a smart idea, maybe. But that depends on the maturity of cambalanche, which I cannot judge myself right now as I have never tried it.

We will need to decide if we want to migrate to something likehttps://blogs.gnome.org/xjuan/2023/09/28/cambalache-0-16-0-released/ <https://blogs.gnome.org/xjuan/2023/09/28/cambalache-0-16-0-release d/> or something different entirely. Why can't we use the proper GObject concept like other gnome application does? E.g. GNOME Settings, Nautilus, etc. which can handle the properties, and signals in a structured way. Thanks.
