Before we descend to the level of name calling :-), can I interject another, possibly heretical, point in favour of GUI builders that you might *both* be able to disagree with? It isn't often done, but I quite like the idea of giving users the GUI builder so that they can specify their preferred task interface, at least to a first approximation. With a good tool it's relatively easy to integrate application code after GUI clean-up. Users sometimes find this a more intuitive way of specifying what they want (and God knows, most users *need* better ways of specifying what they want ...) regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC www.holdenweb.com PyCon TX 2006 www.python.org/pycon/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
