VEditor is a simple and easy-to-use program that will allow users to open and edit various maps for Game Maker.
For one, having many tiles displayed at the same time will greatly reduce the editor's response time, and second when you have big-size sprites placed in the room, it will be very hard to manage and keep track of all the mess, not to mention when trying to find something among them.
The VEditor application was designed to be a tool to help me with my own projects, as I found that, creating big villages and cities with huge looking buildings, in Game Maker's room editor was no easy task.
This tool was not created to replace the default room Editor, just as a secondary. I'm pretty sure future versions of Game Maker will include a better editor, that will make you ignore this one.
