The new grouping of hooks on D7 means that there's a ton of fieldsets.
I think vertical tabs might be a good idea here.

aaronott CreditAttribution: aaronott commentedSo I was looking into this one and created a patch for it. Take a look, the vertical tabs layout seems quite long and for the tabs towards the bottom you may be stuck scrolling up and down to make selections.

Hmmyeah... I'm not sure about this.
Generally, it looks cleaner, but the scrolling around is a real pain. That could be fixed by adding some JS that makes you jump back to the top of the vertical tab fieldset when you open a new tab.
However, the problem is that I don't know how users actually interact with this screen -- do they go through the groups sequentially, in which case the current fieldset list is probably okay, or do they jump around between them, in which case, the vertical tabs is possibly an improvement?
It suddenly occurs to me that even better than all these might be the sort of dropdown and checkboxes combination that Views 2 has to choose fields. That's probably available in Ctools.
