please consider what this will look like when there are 10 sections involved

Um, the example I showed included 8 sections and there is still plenty of room in my widow for two more sections on the second line (I removed the pmdev sections as they don't apply to most users). So I don't see the problem. Now, if you put the counts and "New" stuff back in (and perhaps the pre/post texts), then it wouldn't work for me. In particular, having those types of numbers that are not lined up usually sucks). So I don't know what you had originally that people didn't like, but it sounds like it was quite a bit different than what I proposed.

FWI, I'd implement this in part by removing "New " from all of the settings and prepending a hard-coded "New " to each section heading. YMMV.
