    Having been using ProBuilder for all these years and one thing I think it really lacks is proper iconography:

    - I use it exclusively in Text mode because I simply cannot understand what the hell these icons mean.

    - Tooltip show up way too slow in Icon mode, I would call waiting for them an actual nuisance.

    If you don't believe me, send this screenshot to 3d modelers that have never used ProBuilder before, and ask them to identify the Extrude function from the list.

    Hit the SHIFT key while hovering the button. The tooltip should appear instantly. If it does not, something is wrong with your install.

    If you show me the icons of a DCC application I never used, I wouldn't understand the icons either. It takes time to learn icons of applications. ProBuilder isn't an exception.

    It doesn't, and lags a lot, on my MBP 2020, with Unity 2020 LTS.

    Exactly, and I am saying both the Iconography and Tooltip don't make it any faster.
