Criteria often create a ton of extra edges between problems and solutions that aren't very useful. Also, seeing the "fulfills" edges makes it seem like those can be deleted, but the criterion-solution edges really should never be deleted.
Solution you'd like
Criteria seem like they don't need to show up in the diagram - maybe there could be an explicit option to show them in the diagram, like how with questions/facts you can show them, but they don't show up by default.
Thoughts:
criteria were originally included in the diagram because of the nicety of seeing components/effects that are related to the criteria; maybe the "tradeoffs" view could still include the relevant criteria in the diagram
we should be able to easily specify a node as relevant to a criterion, without using the diagram (e.g. maybe right click "relate to criterion")
maybe breakdown nodes should have a "relevant criteria" section in their node details
Probably future:
another reason for having had criteria in the diagram is that the UX for creating edges between existing nodes without the diagram is poor. research nodes currently suffer from this, and is the main reason that research nodes are viewable via the diagram. perhaps there should be improvements to this UX (e.g. maybe something like #381 would help)
