Hi Max,

Thanks for your comments. We're trying to keep the UI very code-centric in keeping with the focus on annotations. But at the same time we want to provide as much tooling as possible so we've come up with outline views and property views. We'll need those to support XML orm.

Your comment about the properties being tabbed vs. a tree is something we kind of tossed around. We had thought at first to have the details in the outline (in a tree), but moved them to the tabbed properties to keep the outline simple and easy to use. We borrowed the tabbed properties from an XSD editor plugin one of our developers was aware of. But none of this is in concrete and we'll keep reviewing the ui with comments like yours in mind. This is only our initial thinking.

The code completion for annotations is a problem and the team is trying to find a way to do it.

   Shaun
