I'm with Heikki. I've been using the GAL canvas for a complex project. I
don't really have time to learn the nuances of the interactive router; I
found that highlight collisions kept it from doing stuff I did not want
in tight layouts and I fall back to legacy for things like tweaking
track nodes and when I get tired of dropped mouse clicks.
It's hard to articulate well, but I get the feeling that the interactive
router is either based on a single companies layout culture, or, with
the utmost respect for all the awesome hard work that's gone into it,
the authors are copying features in other software rather than working
with the needs and user stories of users that they are in contact with.
Not that the legacy canvas is a perfect interface.

Hi Wayne
Why not support legacy users? Why everybody should use gal canvas? Do not
have to answer, just try to understand your politics.
It's legacy because new tools are not available for it, like the P&S router
However before junking it *please* implement everything on the new one
(like the cursor behaviour which is way more useful to measure than the
new tool in the GAL view)
