It would be an interesting excercise. 
However, I'd rather create GUIs for non-computer literate end users than for fellow
developers. The target I have in mind, is to facilitate the work for developers to
create GUIs for end-users. 
Developers themselves should rather be assisted by teaching them how to script tasks
and generally facilitate their work by automating stuff.

Ok. If 3.4 works substantially better than 3.3 without introducing serious issues,
I'm definitely interested in moving (again) to snapshots.

If there is a really good case for moving to 3.4 (such as fewer patches and stuff
like that) and no nasty issues attached, I'm ok with 3.4. It's an issue of judgment
(which I don't have in this matter). How do you see it?
