As the user vulgaris I'd like to suggest to be not overzealous in  
interface changing to avoid interface flames like for kde 3/4 or  
currently - gnome 2/3 which may result in migration away from horde  
(like it is with kde and gnome, where xfce wins the hearts of  
conservative ones, at least - it seems so.)

 From my experience - my users do not use the sidebar and only one  
gadgetist uses dynamic view.
