F
irst of all WorkbenchNG should be a fully functional replacement of the old workbench. In other words, that you should be able to do everything with WorkbenchNG that you could do with your old workbench. In addition, WorkbenchNG should give you more power and flexibility like DOpus and other similiar programs.
The first public alpha release will probably only have features to cover the old workbench, so that you can use WorkbenchNG instead. However when WorkbenchNG is ready for its first real release, I hope to have most of the following features implemented (more detailed descriptions will follow):

There will probably be no dock-like features, because ToolManager 3 is under development, and will probably be much more powerful than something I would have the time or will to put together.
