I'm not a fan of sheets. I find myself doing constant scrolling because the property I'm looking for never seems to be on the screen, or if I'm changing multiple properties and messing with settings to see what the combination does, I'm constantly going up down up down, overshooting the property, having to scroll-scroll-scroll to get to the right spot. You can't take advantage of the 2D space (think about the position tab in the PI as the most obvious example) to organize related properties. You also can't use graphics or group boxes, shadows, colors, or backgrounds to make it clearer how properties are associated with each other.
Shortcuts to switch tabs in the PI would make navigating better, IMHO. Ctrl-right arrow or ctrl-left arrow, ctrl-1..n would make flipping between pages faster, but the layout and the proximity of the tabs to the properties now still makes navigating between multiple pages of properties for an object and fiddling with them much faster than a sheet does.
