From my perspective, living on an 11" MacBook Air, using horizontal space is quite frugal compared to using vertical space. I wish there was a way to put the title bars and tool bars on the left side of every window. On one hand, there is no way to incorporate drawers into full screen mode. On the other hand, they're using MDI, there's no reason they can't put another pane/column on the right hand side. On the gripping hand, I prefer multiple windows, with tabs. To me the only "drawer" I really need is "documents associated with this window". I have Finder (or Yep/Leap) for organising "projects". I don't need my text editor pretending to be a file management system too (i.e.: I wish the "Project" list was collapsible). Different strokes and all that. Alex
