Subject:  Cognitive mismatch between Matisse and GroupLayout

I enjoy using Matisse, but what I don't enjoy is seeing how an intuitive operation is translated into a complex mess of GroupLayout commands. Does Matisse manipulate an internal model that generates the GL instructions, or does it actually parse them every time? If the former, could we have a Java class that is a facade to the GL with operations that are meaningful to the programmer and that allows for true two-way operation (i.e. visual design and code manipulation, without protected blocks)?
