I agree completely with David. A more sophisticated (and "user oriented"
rather than tool-developer-oriented) model would be of great benefit.

What

you really want is the ability to take an existing layout and then move
things around it in the widget hierarchy. As it is (so far as I can see)
tools like wxDesigner require you to start over from the top down again.
But doing UI design is so interactive itself, and a trial and error (or
"try this, see what it looks like, then try that") approach is so
important, that the ability to easily reconfigure stuff by dragging and
dropping, moving stuff in the hierarchy, etc. is extremely important.

Such

functionality is, of course, a bit more complex to implement :slight_smile: .

not entirely true. You can move stuff in wxDesigner by cut and paste.
Given - this is not the most convenient way of doing it.
