Earl/Steven P Screenshot is too wide. My laptop is set to 1024x768 and only part of the screen shot was showing.

looks like a big improvement to me. if you are into experimenting, i would try this out with just a table and no fieldsets. use subtabs for things like 'contrib', 'installed'. the default should show lots of modules i would think, like today.
Here is WordPress' forthcoming plugin manager:

My first impression is that it a lot easier to the eye than Earl's proposal.
- The module names are links that take you to the corresponding settings page.
Not sure this is an improvement, it isn't really clear or intuitive. Maybe an extra column for this?
I am with Gerhard on this. I hate non obvious settings. This sacrifices clarity for the sake of screen real estate. An explicit settings link would be best. If thereare objections to it then a title tag that says "settings for xxx module" is a must.
- They are not using checkboxes but buttons.
-- on buttons. Each button will need to trigger a page reload and enabling more than two or three modules will be a pain.
Again I agree. Buttons allow only one module to be enabled/disabled. That is a step backwards from what we have today.
