I agree. I've tried a number of different gui builders. I find it much
faster to type something like:

    ui.add_button("New", self.new)
    ui.add_button("Open", self.open)
    ui.add_button("Save", self.save)
    ui.add_button("Save As", self.save_as)

Than have to drag four menu buttons from a pallette, then open the
properties of each one to edit the text of the button and the callback
entry (or whatever dance they need so you can enter the required
text).

Never tried it. My experiences with GUI builders has convinced me I
don't want anything to do with them.
