Blender user interface design

So I hate the “n” side panel (or whatever it’s called) with a passion, because:

• It’s absolutely impossible to discover without help by new users
• It has a ridiculously small spot to click on to reveal it
• (I don’t even think it has anywhere to click to hide it)
• It hogs too much space once it’s revealed

Why not just fold it into the other space for panels that we already have:

By Parts

• It only need to change the default value and show by default. And yes, is a problem.

• It’s solved with show it by default

• You can reduce the width of the sidebar and hide it completely.

• It use the same space that user will need

• Blender must to work in fullscreen with multiple monitors, not only with default layout in one monitor.

Also that with your solution blender users will be clicking continuosly to see any thing, instead of had specific panel for each thing. And a lot of other limitations like don’t allow user to put the panel in the left.
