Glade is horrible, and produces really bad code. In fact even the gtk+ 
devs. advise people not to use it. It took me 2 years to learn "proper" 
GTK+ programming after working with the rubbish that Glade produces.

However, libglade itself is quite nice - the recommended method now is 
to generate interfaces using xml and libglade.
