Yes, so we have existing user interfaces and I was really hoping there'd be a way of using the gtk=inspector to dump out the widget structure into a machine readable format.

It's possible with things like the python gtkme library. But I do understand why programmers would want to code. The problem is that it's easier for a programmer to workaround glade xml than it is for designers to work around C++ code. More designers, more ux people, better software for end users.
