I agree with Dr. Mu. The boilerplate code produced by those IDE's is harder to deal with than it's worth.

I was the same way when I started up with Tk GUI's. Man I wanted something like VB, with all the options and callbacks available thru right-click option menus. But after realizing I was spending more time trying to decipher all the triple_underscores and other boilerplate techniques for auto-code generation, I just started to do it manually. It only takes going thru a few examples to get the hang of it. The biggest trick is to learn how to use frames, lots and lots of frames, frames in frames, frames of frames.....etc. You can quickly setup whatever you want, then go back and fill in the callbacks.
