This has been a want of mine for a very long time, but is also a complicated task.

What it'd do:

• Re-write the entire scene view UI front-end, and change some back-end API to use the modern "Overlays" API provided by Unity since 2021.2.
• Allow docking the UI anywhere in the scene view, instead of being fixed to any one spot.
• Possibly eliminate the need to have a separate editor window, which would simplify a lot of things, and eliminate a lot of bugs.
• Bring the required Unity version up to 2021.2+, and would remove any code for versions of Unity older than that.

What is needed:

• Figuring out if we plan on changing the existing UI & experience to something new, or if we only want to move to Overlays, keeping the current arrangement.
• Research. Both collected from users and how they use the tool, and from us on how to implement the changes.
• Help! With the nature of this, it'd be a good project for contributions, both small and large!

Going farther:

It'd be great if anyone can comment here on any UI/UX changes they'd like/want to see.

Questions from us would be along the lines of:

• Are there other tools you really like the user experience of, that might be relevant to us?
• How do you use the tool?
• What do you use the tool for?
• Are there any custom changes you make to the tool that you'd like to see added, that might help others?
• Are there any pain points you have with the existing experience, that could be smoothed over a bit?

Later:

Planned changes would go here.
