I can't speak to the work involved, but from my limited experience with the
GUI elements (trying to wrap the toolbar in a flowing layout was my first
stab at this stuff) it appears there is quite a bit of work to get a
drastic change such as dock-able windows. If it ever happens, it would be
quite the overhaul as I believe every GUI element would have to be
rewritten. Docking can have the unintended effect of making dialogs that
we're used to having several open, to now be singleton. If you think about
the impact of (for example) a singleton instrument dialog or a singleton
effects dialog... it might not be well received.
After learning Ableton's interface, I think this is the direction to go, as
you don't find yourself CTRL + TABing through the interface to get back to
a piano roll, however this change would be monumental from my understanding
of the codebase.
