I'm not exactly sure what videos or screenshots you've seen but the layout editor is not complete. (Perhaps you saw videos of the app inventor?) For now it's pretty handy for constructing layouts visually and testing them out on different devices, but most of the time it will be useless with your real app. For example, when you're using dynamic data to populate a view. Working with the xml is pretty easy once you get used to it, it should become as easy as writing html. Although the layout editor is good to start with and for many things, you'll want to learn to write layouts by hand eventually.
