Here is what works for me:
I always develop and troubleshoot using AA, not IB. Seeing the
numeric values is critical to confirming the validity of my code. I
don't do any tweaking in IB. If I want to tweak and see the visual
results on a chart, I add a Param function for that variable.
A Question for Tomasz: will the AA and IB editors ever become
dockable like the commentary and the workspace tree windows?
