I saw this yesterday, and was reminded of this thread :) It looks really 
cool, and should make Blender's texture system much more flexible. That 
Mandelbrot node setup was just insane, did you see that?

I like Blender's GUI, but seriously, I would not want to program one 
like it. The developers have done a good job so far, keeping things 
under the proper tabs, menus and window types. I agree with you about 
the keyboard shortcuts; they make life much easier. Sounds like you're 
farther into that than I am :)
