Personally I think this is ok, I don't need that treeview all the time.
At least not for plain editing. 

I'd 
- indeed keep the _editing_ of the component hierachy a separate window on
  demand only.
- make it possible to have the object Inspector, form-edit and that
  component hierarchy editor in one screen though.
- try to change the object inspector drop down box to show a treeview. For
   inspection (not editing) only.

(
just FYI JBuilder uses a different approach:

- the source file window has tabs on the bottom. Source gives the src editor,
  tab "design" the form editor.
- When in the form editor is enabled, the list where you can select methods
   in the current class changes to this treeview
