I agree on the goal Justin. In terms of what we can salvage: - Start with the CSS editor, and allow the editing area to be either CSS or SLD - Move some of the long text links from the top of the CSS editor closer to where they apply (example the layer preview settings to the layer preview tab, the upload SLD to the SLD editor, etc...) - Consider moving the preview tabs on top of the editor (allowing the editor to be longer for SLD)
