Component view in Apex 5.1

So I’m a dinosaur. I don’t care if I’m not one of the cool kids. I like component view, I started with component view, I’m comfortable in component view and I get the “flow” of component view.
Of course I’m using page designer, but when things get “buggy”, I switch in dinosaur-modus.

And than there is Apex 5.1….
Where is my component view?

First, there is Two pane mode

For me that is a big step in the right direction. I’m not always in the position to ask for a 24″ monitor for development. So, less is more in this case.
And look

Component view!

But it’s not the same. This Component View imposter doesn’t give me the original page for e.g. a region. It jumps to the right section of the page-designer.
Not fair! That’s cheating! …. given that it is also very handy and perhaps my new MO.

But look in the upper right corner.

Here you can set some developer specific preferences, like

This will change the original panel to

Legacy, deprecated, whatever. It’s still there.

Like I said, I will be using Two Pane Mode as default with component view as my prefered way of developing (it could be nice if I could set this somewhere in my preferences),
but it’s comforting to know I can still switch “back”.
