I'm afraid I must also disagree with the above sentiment. If you want
to do things the hard way, that is certainly your prerogative, but to
denigrate RAD tools by saying they are not "the Unix way" (which is
certainly not true) or that they are not for "real" programmers (which is
also definitely not true) seems as silly as refusing to use a visual
editor because "real men (or women) only use command-line editors--visual
editors are for wimps."
Now, to address the question of the original poster about the availability
of RAD tools for Linux...
I'm afraid I can't be of much help since I don't currently use any RAD
tools (they wouldn't be of much help with any of my current projects) but
I'm pretty sure they exist. The latest issue of Linux Journal had a
review of something that I think was called X-Designer that sounded like a
nice development tool for X. But I remember it was also rather expensive.
