Indeed, and typing out the query really doesn't take that long.
It does affect the initial experience though. The admin panel looks so slick I just assumed I would be able to click on the table and it would jump to the data. When it didn't I was surprised and initially blamed myself and fired up the console to see if there were any errors showing. It just affects the polish of the panel.
As I said though it is a minor point for an excellent product.
He does have a point there. It is slightly annoying having to type out a query when I just want to browse the data. (No real biggie though..)
