The way I see it, NSPopover is best for ephemeral extra details. We may use it
in a few places, but it won't replace NSDrawer.
NSPanel is still modal, but longer lasting. We use it a lot, and it
looks better than the modal dialogs in the current app.
NSDrawer is a non-modal extension to the main window, designed to stick
around for a while.
In our case, we have business data entry forms, and then sometimes people
add an optional table of details. Sometimes they'll spend hours on the table
(e.g. for
a construction estimate with hundreds of line items).
They still need to see/edit the main form at the same time, so NSPanel won't
work,
and NSDrawer is just right. If it's ever removed entirely, we'll pretty much
have
to duplicate it in code.
The current app switches between multiple layouts with and without the table,
but the new look is cleaner, and better suited for a single window with outline
& tabs.
Thanks,

Just for completeness' sake:
You're aware of NSPopover?
