Hi, it looks like a lot of great functionality was added in this version. But I agree with slasi (above) about the panels. I’ve been using CSS 2.7 for a couple of weeks now and it feels like I’ve clicked the tiny close button for over a 1000 times. When I watch videos of the previous version this looks much quicker with the panels and in the end more fun.
That place is now taken by the Controller Templates view, which I so far haven’t needed while setting up a script, an if so, it would be just a single click away via the sidebar.
Just as a feedback. In general I’m thankful that this software exists and so many great features become within reach for non-programmers like me.
