Better than what we have now? The layout somewhat sucks. I'd rather
see it as a table while editing, due to the different width of the
fields used, it is at the moment fairly difficult to match your cells
with the column caption (especially if you are near the end of the
table).

Oh yes, I fully agree, and I definitely do not want to stop anyone
from doing incremental builds.
The more diverse tests we do the more chance we have to find bugs.
