While Glade is OKish, it forcing the UI creation to happen in the widget hierarchy root -> leaf direction makes the process of creating the UI almost as painful as creating the UI manually and changing of the resulting UI maybe even harder..

Qt GUI design tool has a really nice feature; you can add the basic widgets first and only as last thing drag the containers over their child widgets, in the way that makes the UI most scalable.
