true. Lets put it into context. GUI builders: these generate code for  
every drag and drop of a widget etc etc. Which is fine for a simple  
layout or to get started. Problem comes when you try to fine tune -  
if you do it outside the GUI builder, which is quite often necessary,  
then the builder no longer knows what you are doing and all sorts of  
funny things result.
