Generating the hardness images is a bit slow, but it only takes a few seconds in total.
If you mean creating a dmod using text files would be slow, I fully agree. I wasn't planning to do that. It could be useful for certain generated actions, but most of the placement (of tiles and sprites) is still much easier with a normal room editor.
The idea is that you can use the editor normally, but look at the real code behind it when that is useful. Like the "view nonprinting characters" option in a word processor, or "view source" for a web page.
