[Pixlib] about pixbuilder design features list

[Tim Will]

I really like these ideas.
It's import to think about the people who would use the tool right?  Flash
is all about the visual.
Once I was involved in developing such a tool, for creating online
advertising.  The original concept was rather form-based, and it worked, but
design people hated it!
So we scrapped it, and went to a tool more layer-based like photoshop, and
everyone was happy.
I will try to put up an early prototype of that tool for conversation from
the group.
