"Weight Painting Mode" in 2.8: Needs Major Improvements
Weight Painting in 2.8 for users has been very troubling.
with "Lock Object Modes" being Turned On by default
and Wireframe mode being Worse than 2.79
Here is my 3 minute VIDEO , goes in detail I hope this gets addressed , Weight painting is crucial for Animation and Rigging! it should be As if not More Usable than 2.79 weight painting.

Up to 2.79, I could enable xray mode to paint through a mesh, while in 2.8 it stopped working. I guess by 2.8's philosophy to separate tool settings from display settings it makes sense, however there should be an equivalent setting in the brush settings then. The "Front Faces Only" option only enables painting faces from the back, but doesn't enable paint-through.
We need to be able to switch faster between pose mode for the armature and weight paint mode for the mesh - 2.79 was much better for that. And there no longer seems to be a way to hide back verts, which is distracting. I do love the new tools and options layout.
* @slayerdude93 * too many steps not worth it for the speedyness needed for weightpaint sadly :/ , consider that in solid mode htings will interesect and cover views, going to click on xray is constant time spent when it should done in 1 click like in 2.79
Seconding this. Coming from other programs like C4D or Maya I find the weight painting tools need some improvements.
Yes it's extremely dark and it behaviours weirdly most of the time. Working with armatures is buggy as well...
omg thanks for showing me the "lock object modes" option, i didn't know it was there and i was so pissed of by that, i made my weight paint on 2.79 then transfered it back to 2.8. I think this should be fixed, like wireframe mode. 2.8 is awesome but they also made some decisions i am still wondering how they could aprove of.
* @antotooliver * Ayy! Np Like i said in the vid that issue is like the most googled of 2.8 lol
