As per elementary's guidelines [1] (GNOME doesn't have its own popover guidelines yet), "don't use a popover if the user would spend more than a few seconds in it". In the case of the Properties pane, I hope one day it will completely replace the formatting dialogs that we have. That said, I would love to have some simple, specialized popovers for quick tweaks. Even something like http://bassultra.deviantart.com/art/Spreadsheet-363147552 (that's still just a subset of what we have in Properties). Or an Insert popover. That's a project for another day, though. I think this would be better than showing them in a sidebar, since the > mouse has to travel more and there's no visual connection. It'd be great if it was possible to align toolbar buttons to the right [2]. That could solve both the mouse travel and the visual connection problems. I hope to have a discussion on this at the upcoming hackfest.
