(like the crop tool) Plugins are out-of-process. It is not exactly trivial to have them display their preview in the image window.

I think that we should try to avoid popups but simply not showing them is not an option. If we can get away without showing the dialog, why do we show it at all then? > #4 : if you maximize your artwork, the panels are over it, it makes > the extreme areas of your work inaccessible without moving your > panels, or going fullscreen.

You only summed up what we already know. You would have helped us a lot more by going into a specific subject, writing down use cases and doing a full-fledged proposal that actually helps interested developers to implement something better.
