Which brings this thread back onto topic for this list. :)

I agree. The browser has become a familiar interface, but it was  
largely developed by developers for developers, and for an application  
things like the address bar and bookmarks and sidebars are distracting  
and divert attention from the content (the page you're viewing, or the  
world your avatar is in). Which is why web applications are allowed to  
remove those decorations when creating a new window.

The 2.0 interface looks like something a web developer would like to  
use, not something someone IN SL needs. The address bar, toolbar, side  
panel, and all the new highly decorated chat boxes and message boxes  
should at the very least be made optional.

Where is Snowglobe 2.0 going with this? Where SHOUDL it go? Should it  
simplify the interface (or allow it to be simplified), restoring the  
sim name and location to the title bar, cleaning up the chat and  
message boxes, and so on?
