The "renders panels from stylesheets" is what I am referring to. Phat is 
  has very nice widgets, but AFAIK it stops before the container level. 
That's where the widget 'system' comes in: a system that manages widgets 
such that you don't have to care about that. Just write a UI description 
and have the system generate the UI for you (at run time).

That would allow to concentrate on the coding and have someone else 
figure out the best UI layout. Or have people customize their layout.
