I'm quite sceptical about GUIs. As Mnemonic imself has stated, he created the heavy GUI because the scripting language became so difficult. GUIs always try to hide something...

I disagree. GUI's in general are better for creative purposes where you basicly create a metaphor for that purpose only (e.g a music sheet in Cubase, a canvas in Photoshop).
With WME it's just the same. For scripting, there is a nifty language for you. You can create Pacman in WME if you want. With the recent support for methods, you can write powerful functions, if you want to.
But for *designing* purposes, WME offers a toolset to create a scene, tweak animations, and setup script <-> scene node relations. There are only drawbacks NOT having those GUI based tools.
Having said that, as a tool developer you have to make sure the workflow is okay, because if you have a crappy GUI, you are better of scripting in (which is not the case with WME
)
