There is Designer tab and editor you mention. They have quite a lot in
common.

This is connected with next point - possibility to get schema in any
format just after moving tables around.

Yes, it should work without configured database storage. It still
however should still provide persistence with configured database. Also
having some kind of persistence without database would be nice - for
example html local storage.
