I think I speak for most of the "kill the drawer" crowd when I say this:
We don't want to just kill the drawer and replace it with nothing --  
we want it to be replaced with a very similar pane but with improved  
usability and slightly better usage of screen real estate.  Just as  
Apple did with Mail.app.  There should still be an option to hide the  
pane altogether just as there is now with the drawer.  But the most  
significant difference is that when made visible, the pane would grow  
*inward* reducing the size of your code view rather than the way the  
current way the drawer opens *outward* whether there's enough space  
available or not.

I'm frankly at a complete loss to understand how anyone could think  
current drawer functionality is better for usability in this regard.   
Anyone care to enlighten me? ;-)
