Why a navigator if Organizer does the same thing?

Is there something that the "Navigator-Project Map" does that the Organizer doesn't do? Is the "Navigator-Project Map" redundant?

Organizer does much more, in a multi-pane view. Yet, the nav/proj map provides a compact, tabbed interface that docks nicely when in single-monitor mode. With multiple monitors, I usually leave Organizer open on the second monitor. With a single monitor, I only open the floating Organizer when I need it for dragging/dropping items to create or duplicate views, publisher items, etc.

Got it.

I use two monitors. I didn't think about how cumbersome that would be with just one.

Possibly there could be a tab on the Navigator that turned it into the Organizer as needed. Maybe this already exists.

Thanks
