Assuming one of the elements to be replaced with widgets is the field control used to display code in the script editor, will it result in the following long-standing scrolling issue (opened since March 2008) being resolved? http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6286 Scrolling a fixed number of pixels at a time (rather than pixel-by-pixel + delta parameter based on scrolling speed) might seem to some to be a seemingly insignificant issue that could result in it being assigned a low priority. Unfortunately, it causes a very noticeable effect that makes the LiveCode IDE and standalone apps look less polished and native-like than modern apps. Fixing the scrolling issue would greatly improve the scrolling experience within the script editor, the IDE, and standalone apps. More people impressed by the LiveCode environment and its apps = more $$$ for LiveCode Ltd. :) It's even possible that the code required to fix this already exists elsewhere within the engine (see comment 5 on that page).
