I think it's great. I love it's simplicity. And, finally, the
drag-and-drop feature becomes obvious to new users, because it's
automatically activated when you select "move" - nice!
Two thoughts:
- Yes, please put the panel size option back on the front page of
the panel properties dialog
- When moving a panel item to the right, between two other items, it
is placed on the right side of the second item. I'd expect it to be
placed between them - probably a bug?
