GUI builders.

I mean that GUI generation is done in some kind of specialized drawing
program and GUI handling is automated to the extent that most widgets send
messages when their state changes. The controller(s) then just need to be
handlers. Some things, like reflowing text when a window resizes just handle
themselves.
