title: Write gui programatically, or using an advanced gui editor (Java Swing)?
body: <p>I am planning to write a Swing-based application (using Netbeans 6.8).</p>
  
  <p>It seems that Netbeans has a very advanced GUI Editor... Still I have my doubts regarding the code generated by it. Additionally I don't like the fact the part of the code is locked (still I understand the need). </p>
  
  <p>Has anybody used Netbeans GUI Editor with success ?
  Does it "scale" ?</p>
