It seems there is an user base with good motives for a first class horizontal layout, so instead of having a group grumbling about how they have to cope up with something else, you can redirect them into doing something positive: maintain the other layout in a unified way and benefit everyone. > * Should be elegantly expandable, so that when new features are added > or new options appear (eg. modifiers, constraints, whatever comes > next) the whole UI isn't rearranged, which ruins muscle memory.

Please explain this point because currently vertical layout pushes around other panels when one above changes or by adding new panels (easy test, enter and exit mode for mesh, transform changes size and mesh view appears). > * Should make good use of available space Forcing vertical, as is or via automatic convert, into horizontal does not. > * Should be clear, organised and quick and easy to find something if > you don't already know where it is See point above about avaliable space.
