I have done a bunch of GUIs in Morphic, and I find it quite nice. Like
Aaron, I build them completely programmatically.

Some simple screens are displayed here:

A much more complex editor window, with a direct manipulation scrollable
zoomable draggable graphics pane is here:

I'm pretty happy with what I can do with Morphic... Of course, there are
things that could be better (like the speed), but all in all it is one of
the most flexible GUI architectures I have ever used.

Later,
Jon
