I know scalable, modular programming is the hot trend but if you've been there done that then you know how that exponentially adds to your development time. Unless you want the UI to look like Excel using preset Microsoft UI modules, you are creating a lot of custom UI elements from new assets. You have to make decisions about what is scalable what can't.

Since Larian has neither infinite time or budget to create this perfectly fluid, modular UI, maybe you would like to assist by adding your expertise to this issue? I mean AS3 is just your regular ECMAscript derivative. Every backyard scripter and their grandmother can pick that up.
