Wait, let me make this clear.
I work on my tablet, and only recently have I again started using my computer (I stopped working on my computer after I discovered that Makeroid has full touch support. Then the touch spread to AppyBuilder and App Inventor…)
I value productivity above aesthetics. If I have to wait 3 seconds for the drawer to open with a ton of effects, for example, it’s just annoying.
My main complain, is that combining the components hierarchy and the property inspector greatly increases the amount of to and fro I’ve to go.
eg. Change the properties of Button1, click back, click on Button2, scroll up, because I’ve been scrolled down to hell (probably a bug), change properties, go back, repeat, because I can’t possibly memorize all the properties in one go.
eg. I need to move an arrangement, but it is chock full of components. I’ll just select the arrangement in the hierarchy to be accurate… And now I’m in the property inspector and cannot immediately monitor the hierarchy.
My solution would be to:
- Make an option to view the Builder without effects and animations.
- Separate the two windows.
