While it's possible to do things like this by hand I find it's royal
pain when it comes time to make revisions or move things around. What I
like about Rapyd-TK (warning warning, I wrote Rapyd-Tk, put bias
detector on high) is that you can, after the fact, move widgets and
frames around and all the gory code to generate them is automatically
regenerated. As for the code to actually make the application go, well,
if there is some automatic way to make that happen it hasn't dawned on
me yet.

Lots of hits on the Rapyd-Tk web site as a result of this thread :)
