Let me put in my vote for features like these. In particular, having the ability to separate the world from the interface tab would be great. NetLogo3D already does this and it allows more flexibility in laying out the widgets on the Interface Tab. Allowing any tab to be separated into a separate window would be nice, but allowing a separate world tab seems like the most useful.
