Agreed.

I have a lot of experience with Qt Designer, I don't know about any of
the other tools:

1. Qt Designer produces sensible well-formed XML, not gibberish.
2. The whole point of the tool is that you should _never_ have to edit
the code it
   produces - if you need to extend ui designs, you do this by sub-
classing.
