“Adding a component, especially if you use the atom defaults now typically means you have to create 7+ files and need to be added to different projects. <editorcomponent.h editorcomponent.cpp component.h component.cpp componentcontroller.h componentcontroller.cpp componentconfig.h> And many of these files need to be added to different projects. This is over-designing IMHO and significant friction to doing something that should be simple. Users should start with a simple 2 file setup until they get to the point where they have a good reason to split out into multiple files, and we should have a tool that quickly does all this for them, no hand creating and editing all these files!This is over-designing and friction.”
