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.
