Notice there's no comma in my comment. I'm calling them horrible because they're full screen, the editors themselves are quite ingenious.

Just interested but what about mine looks so hard to use?

Edit: Oh and Rich, you might want to consider putting in something about that Retro Competition and how DB is offered to every entrant and DBP to the winners.

I suppose all the tabs, buttons and frames make it look slightly cluttered. Look at MagicWorld and note the genious of the UI - it takes up almost no room on screen and is pretty easy to use.

Rich what about the schools thing, thats BIGish news

The Outside is a evil place to be, too much light, too much noise and too many distractions....
I went outside once and my FPS rate dropped to 5.

True, I do have a lot on screen at once but that's because there are so many options and features I want to include - I'm even considering using a scrollbar down the left tab as well so I can fit on more. My user interface is completely customizable as well, it's possible to hide or show any or all the toolbars and tabs so you can build the level using only the menus and shortcuts but that could get tricky.

Magic World isn't all too different really, it still has a tab based system but it goes along the bottom not down the left. The reason it has less tabs is because it has less features.

The schools thing was in last month's newsletter so most people will already know.

Additionally, there where 8 forums arguments. Aswell as the usual expected protagonists a few new bitter hatreds started this month. Prooving once and for all that even when you get people together with a common interest and common goal - you still can't get everyone to agree with each other. I've see less hatred in the May Day riots.
