I noticed it and it is awesome!
It definitely reduces the amount of thinking required when working whith it,
which is a good thing IMO since you really should be thinking about the
code you are busy with and not have to page out too much to swap in
your full VCS stack.
When I see the 'whats next' section I found that I can just start
clicking away at its icons in it,
and don't need to think about any other options available in the menu.

bzr-explorer makes my toes curl up and my eyes roll back into my head
from pure ecstasy. I cant explain how much I enjoy using it and am really
exited about where it is going.
