Hi Folks,

Reviving some conversation that's happened over the years...what are the 
favored tools for editing and/or creating the wxWidgets UI elements for 
KiCad?  Hopefully not "vi"...

On the one hand, I suppose I could always just go my own way with my own 
fork, but I'd like to wind up with something possibly re-integratable 
when I'm done (the current idea is creating a hand-assembly assistant -- 
a simple UI that will select/highlight parts in pcbnew to help me get my 
eyes on the right spot on the real board, and let me check off the parts 
as I place them, etc).

I found some discussion surrounding wxFormBuilder from 2008, and I know 
that CMake can generate project files for CodeLite, which features 
wxFormBuilder integration... so is that the recommended path?

Cheers,
-Brian
