Couldn't agree more, "This is a bit too like MSVS" was my first thought when I saw the design. I also think Tobias Hunger is right about tabs being a waste of space. The most important thing here, though, is that QtCreator's GUI does _not_ need a revolution. The GUI is well designed, well polished, offers very good functionality and is comfortable. You don't need to fix something that's not broken. Besides, we've seen a number of revolutions lately in various areas of software and in most cases it didn't end up so well. Or, if someone is convinced that a more radical change is needed, they have to present a convincing reasoning first as to why it is needed. Right now, this is what my dev desktop w/ QtCreator looks like: http://imageshack.us/a/img843/347/1rtp.png [1] I don't think this design is so easy to beat ;-) Disclaimer: All of the above is IMHO, of course.
