Hi,
I was wondering if it wouldn't be more useful to group annotation
types in the "mode" and similar menus by namespace rather than
inheritance.
I don't think most users care much about supertypes, and mostly don't
know about them, whereas the namespace seems to me to be a more
natural way to organize the menus.
I think a flat top level with all used namespaces would work quite
well, and the submenu with the annotation type names would not need to
include the prefix. What do you think?
I guess it depends a bit on the use case what is better. If you have a
few super types, it
might be better to organize the menu with these, but if you have a lot
and deep type hierarchies
it will get really confusing.
I think your proposed solution is good, because it works for simple and
complex type system, where
the current solution is really limited when we have complex type
hierarchies.
Any other opinions?
