Glade was the best. Drag&Drop, creates a language-independent XML file, which your program loads and populates with events.

* Don't have to change the program to change the UI

* Don't have to change the UI to change the program behaviour

* Easy to include in version control

It was almost akin to HTML and progressive JS.

I wish there was a GUI toolkit where you would specify what kind of interaction you need, and it builds the right GUI elements with the right workflow following best practices by itself. Sort of like what Ruby/ActiveRecord does for databases.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why the past tense for "Glade"? I thought that was still a completely viable thing to use these days, but I confess I haven't done any Linux GUI dev in several years.

Hmm, yes, perhaps I was mistaken there.
