Instead of having multipe orthogonal options put on top of each other maybe we 
should replace options like "enable sidebar" with "mode 1" // "mode 2" // 
"mode 3". That way we can design each mode to be a consistent and usable UI 
on its own and we will not suggest to the user that only the sidebar will 
change.

Bolting feature on top of feature on top of feature leads to a crap UI because 
of the poor thought out interaction between the features. Example: horizontal 
scrolling in combination with a sidebar and a preview sucks beyond believe.

Cheers,
Waldo
