Hey, can anybody explain why Microsoft has omitted design view in SPD 2013. It’s causing a lot of problem while customizing DVWP. Any alternatives for it?
Hey there!
Two more links in this subject from Microsoft:

A great but depressing read. MS, what have you done! 🙂
The loss of design view in SharePoint Designer 2013 has been much lamented and discussed in the community. Instead of rehashing the discussion, I’ll just share the 2 threads that I found most useful on the subject.
Here is a great discussion started by Marc Anderson: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/8f8e2cb3-a90f-4653-9d22-050f9f0d8612/sharepoint-designer-2013s-missing-design-view
