1. Having that in mind, who know how much bloat was added to other elements which makes whole thing # needlessly crowded.. the backend is really poorly coded IMHO since its possible to make that one single button whole lot more simpler and quicker than this. Whats wrong with simple <a href=""></a> or <button> elements styled via css to look exactly the same as these if wanted?
Settings are really badly organized and not obvious and those found in Evo are far more better solution for majority of people, from UX point of view.Debatable; I could say a "majority" of people say that finding settings is much easier in Revo, because of the searchability function.
And what i find worst than everything is that little floating Save bar which constantly gets on my way. It doesn’t make sense that such menu stays there when there is bunch of free space on other places which could be used better to make menu more accessible and distraction free.Again, debatable - I find this much more usable than leaving the save buttons at the top, where I have to scroll up every time to save. Now, as for their position, that’s definitely up for discussion.
I would like to be able to easily have multiple items in different tabs. If I want to have a page, a template and chunk open in tabs I have to open a page from the top drop down menu ( i.e. Manage user, system settings, etc) in a new tab, then back into the chunk or template.Already done, in windows - see "Quick Update/Create".
I have usability concerns since first impression is that application is way too much code bloating the base.

My other frustration is unbelievable amount of JS code used since it really makes hard for people with no brand-new computers and components to accomplish the task with constant hiccups from buttons which do not react on clicks to hung document saving and eternally lasting "Please Wait, Saving" window where only browser page reload helps.

4. I create new tabs and TVs and then move the TVs and some fields to the new tab. It would be great to be able to select the tab where the new TV would go and select the action(s) instead of setting all the rules one by one.
4. Can you elaborate on this?
This is because of ExtJS, the JS framework behind the manager UI, which allows us to do rapid UI development, drag/drop, windows, etc. Their markup has gotten better with each release, and I believe 4.0 will solve most issues.
Great suggestion. Can you file it here: http://bugs.modx.com/
1) Have an option for the number of settings per page. I like to see 100-200 settings on one page because I’m pretty quick with scrolling to what I need. Some people might only want 10. So make a pulldown box with some options.
2) Perhaps the filter could also locate sections instead of just specific settings? I often myself wanting, say, the the TinyMCE settings, but if I type "tinymce" into the filter I only get settings that explicitly contain that text. It’d be great if I typed "tinymce" and it showed the whole section.This already exists - filter by namespace. Click on where it says ’core’ and change to ’tinymce’.
Sure thing.

Actually, I knew that. I’m not sure what I was thinking.
