Why is the following query too complex to be viewed in the design mode?

SELECT `Date`, weekday( `Date` ) AS `Weekday`,
`Precipitation` AS `Precip` FROM `kwbo4418_WaterlooWeather2000`.`2005` AS `2005` WHERE ( weekday( `Date` ) = '4' OR weekday( `Date` ) = '5' OR weekday( `Date` ) = '6' ) AND `Precipitation` > 0

Since the "query designer" does not handle many valid queries, I consider this tool as obsolete, experimental or waste of time. I use it to collect the names of tables and fields before I compose the query in text mode or in a text editor.

Today I found that it can not even group by calculated fields:
SELECT "Forname"||','||"Surname" AS "Patient Info",
[...]
GROUP BY "Patient Info"
