I've thought about making a RAD IDE for another language, and I'm kind of stuck wondering on strategies for stuff like this, I'd much rather just store the GUI info in another format like XML and only parse source files for things like methods that shouldn't be overriden when someone moves something. I really wish we'd go back to having a lot more RAD tools.
