<sarcasm>For this area, I feel that a text-based format is so inherently superior that I honestly can't imagine why anyone is still using Constructor.
I presume you also prefer to roll down the windows of your car in the summer instead of messing with that new fangled A/C gadget thingy.
....and of course who needs TV when you have radio!

I don't own a car. And most of the TV I watch is on DVD.
Well I suppose it is what you are used to,
It's got nothing to do with what I'm used to. I started off doing GUI stuff with graphical resource editors, but switched to text-based formats for the reasons I gave above, none of which you've rebutted, or even acknowledged. How _do_ you find out what's changed between two versions of your resource file?
I find it mind-blowing that PalmSource consider it even remotely acceptable to not have an effective GUI based screen designer.
A GUI-based screen designer is certainly a useful tool, but it's not the be-all-and-end-all of UI design by any means. I have yet to see a GUI screen designer that handles resizable screens half as well as a web page, for instance. (If you know of one, please point me at some screenshots. I'ld love to see what it looks like.)
And it seems like Palm is going in the right direction by having their GUI tool use a text-based format for persistance, so that we can both be happy.
Later, Blake.
