App Browser versus Project Browser

[Mark Schonewille]

That is a strange question: if we take away something you like, would 
you use the one and only thing that's left?

I think you need to be a little careful with that. While some people 
might use whatever tool is available, some other people will decide to 
use a different tool (like me), but yet again some other people might 
decide to switch to an entirely different programming environment.

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?
