Re: [platform-ui-dev] Blocking UI: Wizard Dialog modality

Why not just make non-modal Dialogs / Wizards 'Editors' (i.e. site them in the editor area with their own tabs...)

I don't think this would fit. One expects an editor to be a way to view and change a file. Dialogs have another purpose which is to "actively" interact with user without necessarily being related to a file or a modified artifact.
IMO, dialogs and editors are better being kept separated, or it will become more complex for users to figure out where to find the interaction they want and what kind of effect they can expect from the items shown in the usual editor stack.
