Hi,
I don't know much about this from personal experience, but Jamal has put a lot 
of work into lbc.net, which allows you to do a lot of little dialogs and stuff. 
You could also check that out. lbc.net tries to use layouts that look good. 
Realistically, though, even sighted programmers run their designs by someone 
whose job it is to help developers make things pleasing to customers, so don't 
let your fear of not getting things laid out perfectly stand in the way of 
learning to write code.

You do not need to be sighted to use windows forms. The VS scripts solve
that issue. You may get overlapping if you don't plot things out
corrrectly, but lack of sight shouldn't mean no forms.
