I know this is probably way too late to incorporate into v1.2, so I'll post it here instead of in the Release Candidate forum.

For the Note node, I think the "Update" button is not only unnecessary, but "dangerous". Many times I will type in a long note, only to forget to hit the update key afterwards. Then I find my entire note just disappeared. Why not just let the note update in real time so the user does not have to worry about it? If it is because the user may not like the new note and wants to keep the old one, then all he/she needs to do is just copy/paste the existing note to make a working copy for the new note.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention...Would be nice if the editor would grow in length as new lines of text are added so that you don't have to keep scrolling all over the universe to find something you'd like to copy/paste.

Thanks!
