[ disclaimer: I got a free FDT license from my open-source work: https://github.com/deafbybeheading/pegasus ] Have you tried FDT? It's also Eclipse-based, so I found moving from FB to FDT much smoother. I hesitate to call it "FB done right" only because that would diminish all the hard work of the people at Powerflasher, but I haven't run into a single feature that was easy-to-use in FB but complicated or absent in FDT (although note that I've never used design view). Refactoring in FDT is a dream.
