Phew... depends on your personal skills and tastes. But generally it's

There always is... as you mentioned, MDI is one (you don't want), another

No. The functionality you want specifically must be built manually, of 
course, or if you want to change default behavior.

I usually follow the multiple-inheritance approach, building the UIs with 
designer (where applicable / "complex enough"):
