My immediate thought on seeing it was "AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! It's SodiPodi come back." I crossed my fingers and muttered appropriate soothing mantras. I like our Inkscape UI Interface as it is and SodiPodi's used to drive me bananas. I was so glad to leave it.
Sorry if that is strong but I hated the little collapsible/detachable toolbox compartments, especially when they didn't work properly.
Although I might change my mind if they did work properly as an alternative. :-). No. I'm sure I wouldn't.

Good day.
This image is just a simple little mock-up of an idea for an alternate Inkscape interface.
Since most users like the current interface, there would, of course, be no need to change it. But when I read that, amazingly, future versions of Inkscape will incorporate SVG animation, (!) I thought the interface might need a little adjustment to incorporate future features (like the animation feature, filters, anything else that could be used to display the power of SVG).
I could be way off with this, but it's just an idea.
What do you other users think? Would this type of interface be too bulky?
To have collapsible/detachable toolbox compartments is, in my opinion, a great thing. Sometimes I have to work on my notebook computer, and to be able to collapse/detach menu items lets me work more effeciently.
