Sure if you like to write XML by hand.

Cambalache is years away to reach feature parity with Glade. Then there is the whole of using Web to render the designer.

This sort of long slog work is where proper funding is needed.

I'm sure all the distros are busy, but it sure would be nice if one of them would fund get a developer they pay to do this.

Their idea of GUI building is just too bad and backward. You define the GUI by dragging things on a Canvas and some things that are specified in text. What you never want is going through thousands of widgets in a sidebar and a bit here and a bit there.

It suffers from we don't think about UI but only about technology. GUI Builder the old way stink (only XCode stinks like a perfume). There is also a reason why Microsoft does not offer a GUI Builder for their new WinUI 3
