• How easy is it to switch between modes? We should avoid situation in which people do not do a change (like layouting elements) because they can not be easily manipulated/changed in the way there were in before (consider "baking" an vector element to pixels as a operation that needs consideration, whereas an effect layer in photoshop is easy to experient with)

If users do usually not want to violate constraints (e.g. make a bounding box smaller than the contained text) and the possible problem is transparent (text goes over the border) there is no gain in constraining the users interaction (resizing).

Instead, keep the interaction as possible OR make the element adjust to it better (break text or so)
