Write it on a Rock

I've been using it since the week it was released but I can't handle 8.5 DDE anymore.

I'm tired of the focus getting stolen.

I'm tired of selecting some piece of code, like a variable name, and hitting ctrl+c to copy it and ctrl+v to paste it later in the code to find out I just copied and pasted an email.

I'm tired of clearly being in a design element, such as a script library, writing something and pressing ctrl+s to save and DDE doesn't save it. I go click the save icon in the toolbar hoping for it to actually do what it's supposed to but do get the same result, nothing.

I'm tired of seeing "You cannot add a directory to your workspace" when clicking a link in the Designer Help NSF (yes, not a DDE issue but instead a 8.5 Client issue).

While I will miss the Application View and the Perspectives, it's not worth it for me. Hopefully 8.5.1 will be a quality release that doesn't hinder me trying to work.
