And after they appear, navigate them. Fast keys and then not so fast, too many things behind every key, so there will be need for extra actions. Probably there should be 2 bars more, operator and view, to move out parts of toolbox and properties. The reasons are simple, operator is basic now, and sometimes it is rather huge (try extrude), but it gets tucked in small space of a panel penalizing heavy keyboard users by having the toolbox and also mouse users by having to rearrange the separation. And object/transform properties are being mixed with view settings, ie, something of common use with something that is used sparingly. Currently you can move things around and colapse some panels, but the default are what they are, and every area you use will need intervention to setup panel order, drag the zone or click the headers over and over. Plus things keep on moving and hiding, which was criticised in previous version (and with reason, it is not very good for muscle memory if things are barely constant). Defaults matter, being able to reconfigure is not a good reason to not improve defaults, the user efforts should be in the real work and not the "metawork" of handling app widgets.
