is Xamarin.foms have Xaml designer yet?

I started learning Xamarin with visual studio 2015, but in building multiplateform applications using xamarin.forms, I don't see any Xaml designer to help me inserting elements and layouts on the pages, I must write elements one by one?

I have read that a preview for elements will be in new version of xamarin (2016), but I don't see it in visual studio.

Any one have some infos about that?

Thanks for any information.

According ebook "Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin.Forms" pg. 132:

When creating XAML for Microsoft platforms, some developers use interactive design tools such as Microsoft Blend, but many others prefer to handwrite XAML. No design tools are available for Xamarin. Forms, so handwriting is the only option. Obviously, all the XAML examples in this book are handwritten. But even when design tools are available, the ability to handwrite XAML is an important skill.
