Unless they fake it really well, Adobe uses the same widgets across the board, 
so we should be able to do that. Some things, layer boxes, bird's eye box, 
colour management, pattern, gradient, colour selection and a host of other 
things I cannot think of right away (due to the regular Sunday evening 
laziness caused by a large dinner and a convivial company) should look & work 
the same across the board.

It's a mere matter of speccing & implementing...

They don't need to be big components. Just a shared definition of what's a 
colour, a shared docker widget, etc.
