As widescreen and larger displays are getting more and more available (24"W are getting pretty common), I think, WB should be taking some serious steps to catch-up with the competition regarding the visual part of the editor.
As professional coders we use editor tool on daily basis and expect it to make use of the space provided by different sized monitors. Not to mention, we want some eye-candy.
A good example of where this should be going is Sublime Text.
Karlis, we need that side-by-side editing, full-screen and text-map!
Pretty please with sugar on top?
At least sometime in future?
