The nodeView has been deemed an inadequate way to view and manipulate large amounts of data. Typical AboutCode-Manager workflows often incorporate large amounts of data, so the nodeView will be removed. We may reexamine this feature if there is renewed community interest.

The nodeView is being deprecated because it is not a practical tool except for very small codebases, especially compared to the Table View. The current version only displayed limited information about a node and we could not come up with a good way to add more data elements without making the navigation and presentation very more difficult. Another key point is that the Tree View within the Table View already provides a good way to navigate the "normal" hierarchical structure of any codebase.
We may reexamine this feature if there is renewed community interest.
