From my standpoint, I like this screenshot as a challenge to attaining interface flexibility. In other words, I would love it if our chrome was reconfigurable enough that we could have *both* our current interface layout, *plus* this one, and that the user could shuffle UI elements around to suit his or her desires.
Flexibility is good, but if it is too easy to break the fundamental logic of the UI, flexibility turns into a mess. This mockup seems to totally disregard the distinction between tools and tool controls, and as such is hardly applicable to the current Inkscape UI.
