I understand where you are coming from on this, but I seriously think that
this would be a killer feature. Platform specific interfaces are tedious
enough doing platform specific tweaks via code. Being able to switch the
window editor between platforms and make your changes there would be
incredible and save a ton of time, IMNSHO.
And before anyone asks...yes, I have gone through the proper channels to
request this as I did it way back when with REALbugs and it's one of my
requests that I transferred over to the new system. ;-)
