DM should address all such chores if it is to succeed as a fully featured prototyping tool.
"Just like Romeo and Juliet..."
This is clearly a very buggy pre-beta release. The "V2.0" in the About... dialog is a ridiculous assertion. Version 0.2a perhaps. I have shown much restraint in my comments in this review. This is because I believe the author is on the right track and he must certainly be encouraged.
That much said, I would rather have DM now and not later. It is a very usable development tool and C.K. Haun should be congratulated. It does succeed in making window and menu design a breeze. It is a giant step forward for the IIgs programming community, just be careful to watch your step though.
If C. K. Haun can kick his habits I'm sure he'll live to release the next version of DM. By then it will be packed with goodies. A resource editor would be a nice feature to incorporate. You do not need to have a nicotine or caffeine addiction to program the IIgs. But a taste for Lou Reed helps.
