Anyone else think the designer sucks?

Im getting extremely frustrated with a few things to do with the designer. It seems like they have purposely downgraded it...

The main one is, wheres the selection rectangle? How can i select multiple controls without having to hold down Ctrl and select them all manually? Ctrl+A doesnt even select them properly, it does a text-style select and its useless... I dont get it, am i missing something?

For me the biggest problem with the designer is it's css handling. If you are designing a page that has an external style sheet the designer displays the page you are working on according to the styles sheet; great. But as soon as you make some change to an object on the page, say increase it's width, then the designer over-rides the style sheet by injecting an inline style tag and that, in my opinion was just lazy programming on the part of the whidbey asp team.
