IMHO, it wasn't worth the enormous interface change/learning curve/pure aggravation - UNTIL - the implementation of overlays. Only when you reach the point where you are converting your customizations to overlays does the new tool start to make sense, as does the updated Migrator which also takes some getting used to. So going from the 7.1.00.02 Admin Tool to the 7.6.04.01 DevStudio was worth the effort because of the corresponding sea change in object management requirements. Overlay implementation was the logical point to change the tool set. Note that you had to have the Admin Tool available to perform tasks on base forms that DevStudio would not do, while converting.
As to screen size, I got a 27" iMac specifically to run this thing, on Windows 7 x64 under Parallels (2498 x 1367), but not until after I had already slogged through most of the customizations on XP x86 with a 24" screen (1920 x 1200). Screen size/resolution is absolutely a big factor with this real estate hog.

How happy are you with DevStudio 7.5-7.6 to do customizations? Do you miss the Admintool? Are you satisfied with the DevStudio functionality, usability and reliability. If there was one thing you would change about DevStudio, what would it be?
