I'm not Project Browser bashing as such.

I was very surprised when the Project Browser arrived, and played with 
it quite a bit, but reverted to the App Browser as could not
see any obvious advantages.

As both Browsers are present in current LiveCode 8 builds I don't 
actually see anything wrong with retaining both of them.

The fact that the menu system in the revMenuBar stack does NOT allow 
access to the App Browser does give out a signal which
is fairly blatant that the App Browser is not going to be with us much 
longer:

it was this that precipitated my small hack to allow access to the App 
Browser.

It does seem a little 'silly' to maintain two things which serve essentially the same purpose - so Ali's idea is perhaps the best way forward - what is it that is good and bad about both and is it possible to design something which everybody would be happy with?
