I agree with that. In general, there are several types of operations that have become much more tedious than they were in the Admin tool, and add to that that field alignment has seemed to be very flaky to me in Dev Studio (I've had numerous issues getting fields to line up and get sized correctly - I've even had to go back to the Admin tool several times to get them fixed). That said, I still find that I prefer working in Dev Studio over the Admin tool most of the time. While some operations take longer and are more tedious, I still feel like I'm being more productive overall in Dev Studio - especially when working with things like Active Links which can be extremely slow to work with in the Admin tool.
So, in short, there are things I don't like about it, and that I complained about bitterly for a bit, but having become resigned to many of those things, I still like it better overall than the old tool (which I didn't like much to start with either....). I'd say, give it some time to get used to it and learn its quirks.

The only way I saw to get at it is to try to rename it (dangerous, and only available if the object is NOT currently opened in the editor).
