In XD, everything is permanently docked on the left and right of the screen. The left dock can be minimized to get kind of out of the way, but the right dock is always hogging up screen space. This is no good for designing desktop apps. I want to be able to see the app I am working on with less busy-work scrolling/ hand-grabbing left and right. In addition to more scrolling just to see what I am working on, I have to constantly scroll to navigate the right-dock’s content.
In Illustrator, I really like how I can undock the pallets/panes for things like the Font Pallete, Colour Pallete, etc. In Illustrator, I undock my pallets, and move them onto my left screen and right screen, and often work in full-screen mode, thus my center screen has the full dedication for looking at my artwork. This is probably my biggest complaint, as it slows me down having to scroll more, or trigger the play button/window. I’d really like this program to benefit from my 3 screen computer set up. I feel like a bafoon stuck on one screen…
The constantly changing right dock components keep my guessing and hunting.
Again, in Illustrator, I set my Character pallet to the bottom left of my right screen, whether in Photoshop, or Illustrator. This is where I place it on any computer, and this is where I know where to quickly look for it without thinking. Illustrator does have a “smart” dock of sorts too, but I opt out of that and use my permeant pallets. In XD, there is only this “smart” right dock. I constantly have to hunt for the thing I want, as the content in the dock is changing. I have to scroll up and down a few times to find it, and it wastes my time.
