Hello Janine;

The only feature of WOBuilder that I consider important is the one
that helps you to visualize what your component will look like when
it's rendered.  WOBuilder always did a lousy job of this, especially

It's interesting; we all have quite different ways of working with components which probably illustrates different ways of thinking. I really do like Mike's component editor, but to augment it, I would also enjoy the visual modeller in WOB. I really do not feel at all like I need a full render of the page with data or anything -- what WOB does is perfect for my use. It's really a logical view for making bindings. I'd love to have the time for such an undertaking. :-/

You expressed exactly what I was trying to say. Indeed, I believe that the graphical presentation must not aim at the aesthetics of the page/component but rather it's structure along with a decent inspector for the available bindings. The aesthetics of the presentation should be done through CSS and could be handed off to other tools like CSSEdit and the like.

In a sense, couldn't it be structured like the eomodeler in eclipse ? A tree showing the structure and some inspector specific to the webobject tags being edited ?
