random thoughts

I think the best way forward would be making the XRC side stronger
and keeping as much of the design and layout out of the code as
possible. That means that people who are talented at improving
the design could do so.

I have tried to start using XRC, but fail really quickly. For
example I can create a frame, but you can't place a menubar
inside it using the editor which seems really limiting. I also
can't see how to add my own widgets to the editor. (I can
add an "unknown", but can't specify the class name).

I have no problem with the above. I am using WxGlade for layout and output
XRC and it works very well. I have a menubar in my frame.

With the unknown, I am not sure what you want to accomplish. I normally
subclass a panel and add my customization in this class.

It have to admit it was kind of big treshold but know I wouldnt
go back.

At the moment the whole XRC thing seems ok for the most trivial
interfaces, but too hard for anything beyond that. (Remember that
one of the things that made VB sucessful was how quickly you could
create both trivial and non-trivial interfaces). The thing
that would
convince me that XRC is more than trivial would be seeing the
majority of
the demo using XRC, and being localised while we are at it.
