Flex 3 Anchoring

Adobe has changed the anchor UI in FlexBuilder 3 and I’ve hated it since the first time I saw it. But I wanted to give it some time to see if I grew to like it, maybe I just didn’t like the change.

Turns out time didn’t help, I still hate it.

Consider this one more rant about it. It takes too much mouse activity to make it happen. It’s tedious and those frigging guide lines are always in the way. I’ll be editing constraints in code for now on.

    Some links to other peoples rants and more of an explanation of your problems with it might be a bit more constructive.

    The nice thing about a rant is it’s not supposed to be constructive.

    But I did mention two of the problems I have with the new interface.

    Excessive mouse use. (Tedious)
    Guide lines are obtrusive.

    Seems like enough other people complained as well since the latest FB3 beta has the old style back in.

    Yay!
