I don't know wich software is better, and don't want
to know who, but the point a see is could be a good
'tool' to have an XML representations of forms to load
pre-generated desings (may be done with bond), this
will be a usefull for peaple like me that need a lot
of forms in a specific task. May in the feature (with
the port of gnome-db to Win32 or other plattaform) you
can load this forms in a plataform independient way.

In the port of gnome-db to Win32, I suggest to have a
#if - #endif clusures to eliminate the dependencies to
GNOME (like GConf), becouse the gnome-db library is
basicaly based in GTK!
