Why does RW always open on the home page?

Isn’t it a pretty simple piece of coding to get it to open to the page last worked on? There is so much waiting involved in Preview. Why add having to wait for the home page to load to then go to whatever page you’ve been working on?

Or perhaps I’m missing a preference setting someplace that already provides this feature?

I don’t think there is any preference setting to change that behavior. This is one of the time consuming “features” of RW.
