New question....
I see there are a number of GUI editors out there, too. Which do you prefer to use, and why?
Thanks!

I use PureFORM to create a raw concept of my interface and for the first beginning. However I do all following changes by hand.

I use PB's built-in editor for most work, and my own Html Editor written in PB for Html GUI's, or Notepad.

I don't use any GUI editor. Once you get used to it it's easier to write the code by hand.
Balsamiq mockups is a nice mockup tool:

Aren't the mockups just for prototyping?

The last UI I wrote used the internal web gadget. Layout was done in HTML/CSS and interactivity was done with Javascript.

I was using Pureform but 64bit support became a bit of a problem so I only use PB's VD now.

I have been using the PB Visual Designer for all my work thus far - just gets the basic form design sorted out quickly, after that it's very easy to edit by hand and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to use PB VD.
I only recently tried PureFORM but it is very impressive. Two things that caught my eye - the live code view, and the fact that you can simply copy and paste the code, which is especially useful when adding a quick child form to an existing project. Another plus is that all the gadgets for selection are on one panel. I have not tried working with the more advanced capabilities such as Read From Source and Code Injection but I can see that PureFORM is superior to PB VD - a bit more User friendly plus more functionality. Hardly a surprise because Gnozal has produced some excellent stuff for PB - very solid and reliable.
