Yes, but what troubles me is that the games sometimes for no apparent reason automatically switches to the predefined tab.
E.g the first predefined layout for R&D Centers is 9 prod research units split between 4 single units a double and a triple unit, a combination that is probably never used by anyone, while my first first user defined layout is 3 triple units.
These layout are pretty much the same except for 3 more links in my layout.
When setting up multiple R&D centers at once I can usually click the library icon followed by a click on the "use" button without even looking at the selected layout, as I know that the layout I used last will still be selected for the next building.
But if I am interupted by e.g a "new invention" message, I can no longer rely on that, as it sometimes stay at the previous selected layout, sometimes swithches to layout #1 (if not already chosen), and sometimes switches to the predefined tab, and sometimes these changes happens even if nothing interrupts me.
Since the before mensioned layouts are very similar I might end not noticing that I chose the wrong layout, until I have to sellect the duration, or maybe not at all
This means that I have to pay extra attention, not only to the selected layout, but also to the selected tab.
So if there were only one tab, (or two if wildcards are available), then there would be one less thing to pay attention to.
I can simply not see any good reason for the requirement of non-deletable laypouts, occupying there own tab.
The only useful thing about predefined layout is that newbees can get a grasp on setting up a production by looking at these predefined layout, but after a while you are better suited creatng and possible saving your own layouts.
