Bug Description

Once the editor gets to a certain width (not just the window, because we also have to think about the width of the sources list), I feel like the terminal should go to the right side of the window.

I believe our style guidelines say a line shouldn't be longer than 120 chars. So maybe after 150 chars or so, the Terminal should switch over. That way, it's occupying space that is normally blank instead of space I could be using to read code.

This should only happen when only one view is shown.
Adding a second (or more) view(s) should move the terminal to the bottom.

Swizzle, I disagree. For me, the near-perfect setup would be with folder browser pane, code, and then terminal :p

@danrabbit: I think swizzle meant two code views should force the terminal back to below the editor, so your "file browser, code, terminal" is still possible, but "file browser, code, code, terminal" should not be.
