Do you use the designer, or do you code your gui manually?

In my limited experience, I never found designer barring me to achieve what I want from Qt.
And I never used VB.

When I started with QT 4.5 I tried out the designer, but quickly felt like it wasn't helping me understand how the classes worked and how I could write special functions for the designer generator classes.

Since then I only "write" my GUIs, that way I fell like i have more control over my app.

When I last played with Qt I only ever used the designer for the most basic apps as it seemed far too restricted. Now I always use it. If a widget doesn't do what I want, I just promote it, write some code, and back to the designer. Much better than throwing widgets on a form as place holders which is what I had to do before (and then got confused, and eventually stopped using the designer).
