What are the pros and cons of creating GUIs (graphical user
interfaces) with GUIDE and programmatically (code only)?

For either method, what are the pros and cons of using the switchyard
approach to functions vs function handles? When I speak of
switchyard I mean calling one function with a switch and a number of
cases to execute the proper function.

A bit about me and why I asked these questions:
I've been programming GUIs for a year now and I see people mostly
discussing GUIDE methods. After using GUIDE for a bit I grew to hate
it. The GUI based programs in Matlab I've used (and reverse
engineered) and been able to find code for all seem to be done using
the programmatic method. This is why I would like to know why you
use the methods you use.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
