## Source excerpt

We are on a mid-bootcamp break so the blog is back to life during this time (and there is so much to write!), more on that tomorrow but for now I'd like to write about fixing & tracking issues with the designer (resource editor) and the GUI builder. Both of these tools have issues most of which revolve around their connection to the IDE. The reason for this is that they are external tools that aren't a part of the IDE, this allows us to support all 3 IDE's without too much of an effort but also creates some issues that are often hard to debug.
