The choice of tool windows is not an inappropriate choice. They are using
them for the exact purpose Microsoft intended them.

I am far from arguing that. Just the opposite. Obviously, Adobe would
consider the fixed pixel dimensions of their tool windows a design decision
and they had to carefully program it to make it work. It's just that it is a
design decision that will become increasingly less effective as the
resolution of monitors continues to increase. I suspect that the base class
for their tool windows will become even more complex as they try to adjust
for different classes of users, judging from their screen resolution and
selected font size.
