I too will reserve judgement on the UI widget itself until I get to try it, but I have to say that Vectorform showed a remarkable willingness to adjust designs based on user feedback during the design process this past spring.

So, yeah, it likely won't change much after it's released, but at least the design they set out to implement was the result of research and refinement based on user feedback. That much can't be said for most of LL's in-house UI work.
