Well, it’s a lot more than "a little AJAX and few effects". It includes drag/drop trees, robust content editing, access permission checks, locking mechanisms, event APIs, and more.
Is it really necessary to load over 800 kb of JavaScript in 32 files for "a little AJAX and few effects"?
I think it would be faster to load short lists like "Uses template" or "Editor to use" directly without AJAX. I know its only a second until the list is loaded with AJAX but when I build up a site I click all this short lists a thousand times.
This has been noted; we might try to get around this.
It would be great to be able to open documents or content elements with a middle-click in browser tabs (at the moment some kind of JavaScript magic is preventing the middle-click to work). In this way it would be easy and very fast to open and edit a couple of documents in browser tabs.
It would be nice to be able to copy text out of the document overview page like the pagetitle or longtitle (does not work at least in Safari 4 and Firefox 3).
Somehow I am not able to edit the content of template variables (does not work at least in Safari 4 and Firefox 3). If I click into the textarea nothing happens.[/li]
I hope this feedback is useful for the developers working on the manager
One thing I forgot to mention - in Revolution 2.0-beta-2, you’ll be able to drag Resources and/or Elements straight from the tree into any field, and watch as the tag is automatically created and inserted for you.
We’re working on making the Elements also popup a window that will allow you to set the properties (or use a Property Set) before it inserts the snippet code, as well.

Those sound very cool, but I don’t totally understand either one. For the first one -- what would a tag be doing in a field (what kind of field)? For the second -- before what inserts the snippet code where? Sorry for being so dense.
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while + the quick create feature. Very cool
