CMUD Evaluation
 
Just tried CMUD for the first time, and it looks great. Here are my most urgent complaints:

1) I don't see an easy way to edit state triggers
2) No trigger test function
3) Mapper doesn't respond to Ctrl-S and Ctrl-L
4) Database queries with multiple requirements (may be my ignorance of language, may be feature-to-be-added)
5) Hate the new trigger/alias/etc search/filter. Dread every time I have to pull it up to edit or create.
6) Even pulling formatted triggers from zMUD, extra spaces and tabs threw off CMUD. Its handling of whitespace is very depressing, but I'm sure it'll get cleaned up once the syntax debugger is in. This includes autoindenting, I guess. I don't know about you guys, but I never knew if a trigger was finished until pressive save gave me color and indenting.
7) No autoconversion of | and & to && and ||

#1 is the killer--I can live without updating my eq database for a couple months, but I live on state triggers.

State triggers are easier to edit in cmud than in zmud, in the left side of the script editing window there is a little icon to add a new state to a trigger, and triggers with states show up in the settings window with a + in front of them and expand/collapse just like classes easy way to tell at a glance something is multistate.

I saw that. But it's impossible to rearrange them. In fact, I think I tried just swapping fields, but even that didn't work. Guess I'll have to try again. Anyways, still vastly prefer the old screen.

Not impossible to rearange but I have noticed a few bugs with drag and drop of trigger states that I can never get to reproduce correctly

You need to edit the state priorities to get them to order correctly
