Not to mention the braindead block editing zero-column selection. Oh, and the death of that fugly drawer! :)
I'm with you on the drawer. It's SO two years ago. I want the files thing to look like the one in mail and iTunes.
If this changes I'd really like to see the drawer continue to be an option. NSDrawer is recommended for use when the data contained in them needs to be accessed by not all the time. Of course this concept fails miserably for Mail particularly since mailboxes are something you hop around all the time. Personally I almost never access the drawer once I've setup my tab view, and if I need to access a file I use cmd-T.
FWIW, I don't think this is a aesthetics thing because lacking a drawer increases the amount of horizontal space required out of the editor. Given the way I prefer to layout my workspace (http:// flickr.com/photos/mgrimes/159783736/) being forced out of a drawer would force an editor that normally consumes less screen real estate than documentation to no longer be adequately used side-by- side documentation.
Ok. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Personally, the drawer works perfectly well enough for me. I just don't much like the look of it. Even after I hacked the nib files.
