There is this amazing addon from 6 years ago called Dock. I think it got totally abandoned. I was wondering if it ever got updated, or if another coder picked up where he left off?
What it does is manipulate all other addons and windows (even the minimap) into a drag n drop interface so you can see everything going at once in a small space. You can even do crazy things like hover over a chatbox and it will expand out and you can type in it, and then hover away from it and will drop back into the dock. You have to see it to believe it. Windows and addons zoom in and out smoothly from their docking ports.
