I'm inclined to at least give that a try, and see how it feels in  
practice.

Like many things, this really needs to be user-configurable, of  
course. That's not hard; mainly it's an issue of deciding which things  
to actually put into the GUI somewhere (how many Preference panels?  
how many options can reasonably go into them?), and which to relegate  
to text-based configuration files for the "more advanced" user to edit.
