Hi,

Hmm


I think you other design is considerably superior to this one for a variety of reasons. With a single uncluttered window, the command console now wastes considerable real estate on the right side. If they're merged, having the menu duplicated seems unnecessary too. Lastly, separating the 3d view's status bar info below the command console separates it from the content it reflects.

That said, I do lie the minimalist single window approach. I suggest either trying to address those three issues or take your first point to heart even further. Your first point mentions the CS suite kit approach yet mged and archer are not two different tools. Archer will replace mged (and get renamed to mged) when it gets out of beta testing. With the CS suite, perhaps you can design either a rendering interface (see our rtwizard tool or mged's ray trace control panel for the current state of badness) or a geometry diff interface (for comparing the differences between two geometry files).
