In my recent work on the Twitter client, I did the initial layout in
the Class Designer. I played around, moving and resizing things until
it looked close to what I had in mind. I haven't opened up the design
again in the visual tool, although I've made several changes to it.
Editing the XML (which is as human-readable as the code to do the same
thing, IMO) is easy, and all the code is in a separate .py file
anyway. So after the first day all the work done on it has been in
BBEdit, my text editor.
I guess I find it easier/faster to lay things out visually than to do
it in code, run it to check how it looks, tweak the code, run it
again, etc.
