QT Designer? Coding by hand?

[pir]

Are there people that don't use it? If there are, I think they should get a hobby or something... and not spend the time sitting and code things by hand.

According to this poll 25% of the votes so far say that they don't use it. But I can't see any replies that states why. So I suppose that they're joking... I would really want to understand why they don't like Designer. I've always hated writing GUI code and it's the most important part of the program if you want the user to like you. It doesn't matter if your program is the best around if it's impossible to use. Without programs like Designer I would produce really bad programs, only because they would have a really crappy GUI.

But at the moment I use Designer to make the widgets and then inserts them by hand. But that is not because I think that it's better. It's just because I don't really know how to make a nice workflow when using a lot of custom widgets and the fact that I don't have Designer for Qt4...
So I insert a dummy widget instead of the custom widget in Designer and replaces it later by hand with my custom one. It's not optimal, but even by working this way I save a LOT of time and get far better results than doing everything by hand.
But there seems to be a lot better to use those ui files directly, makes it a lot easier to make changes later on if I've understood it correctly.
