Yep, since the gui already knows about subpatches and abstractions (or can at least traverse any patch structure) why not have a tree browser someplace, where clicking an entry is equivilent to [vis 1 name( to bring up that window quickly? To be honest it only seems a problem once patches get about 4 deep, but after that my search time for moving from part of a patch to another goes up significantly.

It would also be cool if you could browse through your patch structure in a directory type style, in order to find and open the one part you need without opening all the layers between...

Would a MDI (Multi-Document Interface) be a good idea? I don't necessarily mean what's called "MDI" in Windows: it could be tabbed subwindows, as in Mozilla, Opera, the old XChat; or it could be listboxed subwindows as in Kate, or the new XChat; or it could be menued subwindows as in Emacs or SciTE or LyX. (I don't know that many applications, I'm just giving a few examples)
