I've never used the Simple11 tab and haven't gotten used to using the Assign12 tab. I've always used the Advanced11/Edit12 tab, and I'm no Materials pro. Am I the only one who finds this easiest? I'm sure it all depends on what you've started out using. In 12, I really like being able to change all instances of a texture map when I change just one instance.
