Tabs for Toolbox Parts Instead of Widget Areas

Anvil has a bit of a Visual Basic feel to it and I like that but (and maybe I’ll get faster as I use it more) it feels quite a bit slower as far as number of clicks, amount of scrolling, etc. that needs to occur.

One of the biggest reasons I see for this is the use of a widget area style layout with stacking rather than the Visual Studio-esque tabbing. e.g., it would be nice if on the left instead of the Data View Widget there were tabs for Client Code, Server Code, Services, and Theme.

imho, Output would be minimized unless explicitly pinned (this seems to be standard with VS, VSC, and JetBrains IDEs).

On the right hand side one would have a tab for toolbox and another for properties.

Just my $0.0002. :slight_smile:
