Why Not Glade instead of GNUe Forms?
GNUe Forms and Glade are two separate types of tools. Comparing one to the other is, pardon the cliche, like comparing apples to oranges. Glade is a powerful, yet special-purpose, GUI layout application. It is specifically designed to generate GUI layouts for a GTK/GNOME application and is very well suited for such a task. If you are wanting to design a GUI for a non-data-aware app that runs only under Gnome/GTK, then you should look at Glade. However, one of the main goals of GNUe Forms is to be independent of any particular user interface. Using a single form definition, your data-aware application will work on various graphical desktops (Windows, GTK/GNOME, KDE, Mac, Motif) as well as via a text-only (curses) interface and a web browser (HTML). We are even looking at designing a Bayonne forms client — your form could be accessed via a telephone! Also, one of the primary draws of Forms is its fully data-aware widget set. Glade would require you to program any database logic yourself
