Your points of interest to me are your perspective on Interface Builder.
I'd like if I may to highlight your perspective ...

I do not know (yet) either the AmigaOS2.0 style or Interface Builder but I am
beginning to suspect that perhaps Commodore should try to provide such a tool.

A Commodore provided code/application/GUI builder could be as an important a
product as AmigaVision, at least to existing/prospective developers.
