In the early days I used to add the name at the bottom of my config screen, because I considered my own properties much more important ...
However now I tend to put it on top, because for large config screens it becomes a bit lost at the bottom. Especially when e.g. an editableList is not filling the height correctly (due to some lack of CSS knowledge ), because then the name field might disappear from the screen ...
But when having a (useful) discussion like this, it somehow feels like an (optional) name field should have been (fixed) somewhere at the top of the config screen. Since most nodes have such a name field. But no need to discuss that (!!), since it would be too late to introduce that now anyway.
