I would agree that design view is great for a very new beginner but for someone who has got at least 2+ years of RIA experience, s/he wouldn't want to get into the business of dragging and dropping controls just like how it was done back in VB days.... one would want to understand and learn/memorize different properties (along with their respective possible vales) to get his/her dirty with deep down details.
In the past 4+ years, I haven't come across anyone who loved this feature religiously. And, need not to mention that design view is super slow if you try to make FB read an existing screen... No offense to anyone and with all respect to all, personally I think 'squeeze is not worth the juice'....
