Comment (by michaelarestad):

 > There are several issues with accordion UIs, and the Customizer ended up
 moving away from them as a result (and also Press This I believe).

 Press This and the Customizer both essentially still use an accordion-like
 interface that still requires an extra click. The only difference is that
 those interfaces isolate the view once clicked rather than allowing other
 sections to be opened simultaneously. I prefer that as it's more ATM-like
 (one thing at a time)

 Here is an idea I've been toying with:

 And in context (ignore the custom fields as that's in progress):

 It could also be modified to isolate each view like Press This and
 Customizer, but I think having the ability to see more than one at a time
 is valuable in this situation.
