Dear Mac / Apple Developers

Please bring back the drawer, or the ability to choose either a drawer or floating palette for options in applications. When I work on my laptop, screen real estate is a premium, and the drawer works the best in these cases. If I open the drawer, the app window will resize so I can choose my options, then close the drawer. Having just the option of a floating palette requires a lot of jockeying of windows, and makes me less productive.

I am looking for the one application I have that offers both, and I think this should be a mandatory UI guideline for the use of options in apps. Hopefully I will have an update soon, naming this app, and providing screen shots of the drawer usage.
