[PyQt] Doubt

[Dennis Jensen]

Well I am only working from many years of experience and the fact that 
you can do soooo much more with a properly designed GUI using PyQt as it 
was meant to be used rather use it in conjunction with that stuff the 
Designer creates further I have often encounter newbies and 
semi-seasoned PyQt programmers who are trying to do something that is 
easy to do but are struggling because it is either no longer easy 
because of the black-box UI or its next to impossible to do due to the 
black-box UI

Now I am sure it could be done but frankly there really is not need for 
that Designer creating the GUI is just as easy and efficiently done by 
coding it from scratch and what you have when you are done is something 
5x more viable
