Seen Any Thing Like This? Multi Columns Layout

I second cicerosc. Why bolt on complexity that so few users likely want or need, and then trumpet the software as having those “features”?

I’m still not entirely sure what a “Miller column” is, or why I’d want it; maybe it’s similar to a very useful feature in SublimeText called New View into File? This opens a second editor window (you could have a third, even a fourth) with a duplicate of the original file that can be scrolled independently. Changes made in the new file appear in the original, and vice-versa. Maybe a “Miller column” is New View into *Outline*? I sort of doubt it, but that would be useful - especially if it were integrated, along with a notes pane, good export options, and nothing else, into dead-simple outliner software like tkOutline.

If SublimeText had a good outliner component (there’s a plugin, but it doesn’t work well), it would meet virtually all of my needs.
