To be honest, I could lose the visual web page builder aspect of WOBuilder, so long as this side is preserved. Of course, I would rather not.
I heavily rely on the visual display of the relationships of the components on the page: this is inside that, which is before that, and so on. As long as this is clearly, graphically displayed, I can do without the HTML rendering. One proviso: we still use tables a lot because of the CSS problems with MSIE, so some visual rendering of tables would be useful.
The value of the object browser is not just that you can browse actions and keys of your classes, and set bindings, but that you can add keys and actions safely into existing code. This part of it just cannot be emphasised enough; it is a big productivity gain compared to normal editing, refactoring IDE or not.
Absolutely. WOBuilder might have some serious flaws, but it has many of these almost invisible features that turn out to be key in the rapid, safe, high-level development of WO applications without getting bogged down in the code.
