There is no need for layout by code, if you can do proper placement. I wrote a utility somewhere I'll have to look for that goes through and checks to see if the controls overlap.

As for the programmatic construction of UI--you can do it with every framework including win32, or cocoa programmatically; effort varies greatly because anything written in C++ COM is going to be a lot more low-level and detailed/controlled/involved than say python with a high level framework like WX. The wysiwyg forms designers/interface builders just make it a drag/drop process and reduces time to your first working app from an hour to minutes.

At http://shoesrb.com/ there's a program called "shoes", which is basically a gui toolkit using ruby. W/it, u can write all kinds of gui's w/just code. Sounds ideal for us blindys.
