The new APEX Page Designer is a great tool in doing your development work faster then ever. Actually I only discovered two more or less annoying things so far.
1. Doing "mouse miles" from the left side to the right side.
The new Grid Layout takes much space especially on the big screens. When you access an item on the left side you need to move your mouse to the right and edit the stuff you need to change.
So why having the right side not directly beside the left side?
A new APEX star on the horizon "Filip Van Vooren" has created a nice plugin called Xplug and this one is moving the Grid Layout to the right side. The plugin is available for Chrome and Firefox.
I guess this will only be a temporarily solution because in my opinion APEX 5.1 will include a customization part inside the Page Designer where you can do this kind of stuff.
2. Switch between next and previous pages
Currently we don't have the Previous/Next page buttons in the page designer. Luckily Filip also fixed this in Xplug.
Imho:
Give it a try and delete it if you don't like it.
