With the file chooser (cmd-T) the source list is less important (I personally have the drawer closed).
In the future the difference between a project and document window is basically just whether or not the drawer is open.
And I personally like the drawer as a UI element (at least much more than those panels/utility windows) -- so chances for this one disappearing are slim.
Actually, pre-1.0 release of TextMate used a source list within the window.
IMHO iTunes should (be non metal and) use a drawer for the source list. Give me hotkeys for Library and Party Shuffle, and I'd have the drawer closed 99% of the time, meaning a smaller window.
