Other than being typed faster, what advantages does Galaxy have over gui? or did blizzard use a complete function list in gui?
Um...those are not Galaxy.Thoughts about world editor GUI:
My biggest 3 reasons I left the world editor.
1.No 2D Arrays. Had to fake it in every line of code. Was a pain.
2.No private variables
3.No Classes, vJass offers.
Encapsulation With classes were very helpful.
Beyond that I personally don't have much of in issue with it with the world editor. I still clicking alot with vJass.
My Point:
Galaxy allows the same things in GUI as its Jass. Personally I am more a custom to the typing it out now, And I think it may be possible to do structs in jass and not in the GUI. if thats the case, Ill stick to the jass, If not, Its a toss up for me, as I Code almost as fast in the gui.
You won't be seeing the editor any time soon, even after you have received the beta key.So the sc2 beta is coming with an early version of galaxy edit too? We can already start map developing? I really need this question answered.
I've signed up for a beta key and am patiently awaiting the next batch

...When did you get a job at Blizzard's HQ?The editor will only be included when you have purchased the retailed version, which you'll be seeing it on the shelves no later than December 2010. (Release Date < December 2010, don't forget...)

What the hell are you talking about ? Does this mean no editor in the beta :S ;( damn....
We do know in some way by others in Battle.net community:...When did you get a job at Blizzard's HQ?
Besides that, assuming Sc2's GUI will be flawless in terms of the conversion to Galaxy; I still prefer coding syntax and typing, over full sentences and clicking.
I'm almost positive that Beta will include the Galaxy Editor. Of course blizzard has no reason to release it since it's just an editor and has nothing to do with balancing. Either way I bet they will come out with some form of it. Or atleast hint on it some more like they have been.
They shouldn't have to release the editor with beta either since well, the editor all it really is: a syntax checker, terrain editor, and compiler (SC2 Environment). They're already customizing StarCraft 2 with it and it's working. No need to test it.
