Conclusion
In some ways I found the editor highly intuitive, the modularity possibilites made it super efficient to create an environment without worrying about having to snap rooms together. On the flipside however it also felt that I was restricted in creating a level that is super linear. Nevertheless I found it interesting creating gameplay mechanics using simple logic chains and that allowed me to craft a fun experience for the player.
