      it's better to have groups of toolbars instead of separate toolbars , isn't it ?

      in current situation , there is not any suitable place to hold and sort toolpaletes , specially when we install so many plugins ...
      we have to have floating toolbars in mac .. and we have several problems with sorting these little floating toolpaletes
      in outer hand , there is still some problems with toolbar location in windows ... we usually fear resizing the SU window because we have to re sort some of toolbars to fit new window size ..
      sometimes we want to have a cleaner SU with more modeling space for presenting purposes , but we couldn't have a clear window until closing all of toolbars ... and then re enabling all of them .. and then resorting them ... not such a fun job !

      the answer is to make a bag for these toolpaletes ... some thing like MS OFFICE 2007 - 2010 or AutoCAD 2009+ interface which called Ribbon ..
      it will be good if we have it in SU 9 ...
      a tabbed interface which let us add mare tabs to store more plugin toolbars ..
      it should let us sort our icons

      its size should be big enough and touch friendly . because all of OSs are going to become finger-touch .. and now WIN 8 can run SU directly in a tablet ... so having a touch friendly interface is really needed ... I think apple is also going to make a touch based device for MoutionLion .. who knows ?
      imagine you are touching a little floting toolbar in SU9 !!!

      this idea can be extended and becomes a new UI in SU . just like what have been done in AutoCAD : no more menu bar and no windows classic style toolbars .. everything is user friendly
