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.
