I am afraid I have to partially disagree on this one. I guess it depends on
the size of your project:

If it is a simple application (i.e. one project, and you plan on ending up
with a couple of hundred rules at most) then the live assistant will carry
you there.

If you are past that mark, the need to control the rule location (i.e. which
d2wmodel file they end up in) and the need to fine tune the rule themselves
(i.e. take advantage a * patterns and like qualifiers and many others) and
the need to write rules that don't fit the assistant mold completely
overwhelms the assistant and RuleEditor (buggy as it may be) is your only
avenue..
