This first step with GED is an indicator that they are working on improving the current situation.
Regardless how often you complain here, always remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.
At least in our world, where we don't have magic powers
Haha. I agree. However, Conitec seems to be moving fairly slowly and GED is not the first time they had tried to have a separate mode for placing objects. The previous project failed, if I remember correctly. GED may be a step in the right direction. I don't know. We shall see and I am willing to wait. However, at this point in time it does not look like WED is going away. If it is here to stay, then what I suggested remains true. The view port speeds need to be improved and the visual quality needs to be improved. Even modo, with its advanced OpenGL view, displays a much nicer real-time 3D environment with full effects for bump maps, normal maps and OpenGL reflections.
