I'm fine with the IDE being either multi-window or single-window. I've 
worked with both in the past and can adapt to either.

I would REALLY like language support for easier layouts, from groups (or 
views) with built-in slidable dividers (H & V) to easier way to set up 
resizable groups or controls. The geometry manager is not idea and 
coding by hand gets exact results but is time intensive. Language 
support for "tearable" or "dockable" windows is another HIGHLY desired 
enhancement.

80% of our development time is on the UI. We're a data analytics 
product. Much more of our developer time should be on the data analysis 
code for new analytical features not  simply making the UI work.
