Slight correction, though it’s too late to edit: I meant to say at the end, “it’s unclear if Utopia will follow the same standards and patterns that production code demands,”
That's exactly our aim - if making a change via the canvas or inspector doesn't result in production grade code then the tool is failing in our eyes. We're well aware that there are parts where we're not hitting the mark there (effectively we're in an alpha stage here), but we're working hard to improve that.
