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.

for an experienced<br>
programmer who has lots of reusable code.<br>

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.

You don't need Designer to make your application work that way -- I
don't use Designer and<br>
my app works similarly with drag/droppable widgets, dashboards,
etc. That technique<br>
is actually completely orthogonal to the issue of whether to use
Designer.<br>
