I disagree, though I personally preferred the 2-pane approach. I find 
it 
functional and fine - at least on PC where UI fascism isn't as rigorous 
'cos MS are constantly breaking their own rules anyhow. One you get 
used 
to it the lack of GUI madness is a Good Thing, although harder on 
novice 
users. I can see Mac users getting cognitive dissonance when confronted 
by 
the lack of customary Fisher-Price, however <g>

You want 'awful' try any Kai software or, er, Silverfast <ducks and

least 
tolerance.
