Good enough, better than nothing but still not an actual IDE where you can just click on the button you drawn and jump to the code seamlessly or select a function you already wrote to be an event handler right in a control properties window. This adds an extra step of actually "building" the UI which prevents you from changing things on the fly. This may sound unimportant but when you have it the actually integrated way like in the VisualStudio WinForms Designer, building an app actually feels like painting with Bob Ross - satisfying and productive. And doing the UI and the code in different apps feels like having separate kitchens (rooms) for cutting the food and for roasting it. In fact I imagine my ideal app dev tool as cross-platform VisualStudio WinForms with WPF-like bindings and programmed in F#. Oh boy that could be a pleasure I would pay some month salaries of mine to get.
