I think DFW is catered towards a different audience than a lot of users, specifically users like us who read articles about what Wordpress is bringing in future releases ;)

DFW is for the OTHER huge chunk of Wordpress users, the writers, journalists, bloggers, etc. Those people (at least in cliche!) like a comfy seat, laptop, cup of coffee, and a screen that doesn't have anything on it but the impending words of their labor.

I myself, I like my tools available at all times, and found the current DFW to be a pain in my ass, so I welcome this new attempt. That being said, I don't feel it's the kind of thing you need to spent too much time on, and we should wrap it up and move on.
