Designer does not generate Python (nor C++) code.  That's what the uic 
programs are for.  You can even load .ui files into PyQt without there 
ever even being Python source code (in a file or otherwise).  
Regardless, it's generated stuff just like any other.  Do you also get 
upset at coders when their .pyc files are illegible?  What about their 
.o files?  or .exe?

Doing more work is not the same as being a better coder.

Nobody is arguing Designer should always be used or that the resulting 
.py files should be read.  I in part used it because it allows 
non-Python-developers to drop in my custom widgets and add values to 
them as to what data feeds they should be hooked to and layout the 
entire dashboard with drag'n'drop.  My actual code is all but unaware of 
any specific thing about the gui.  Just searches and finds the various 
sorts of generic widgets it knows about and hooks them up to the data 
signals.
