[Qgis-developer] Processing GUI integration

> get rid of the Processing menu altogether:

I'm a -1 on this. I like the idea of integrating processing more
strongly in the ui, but I think there's a strong need for a processing
menu. There just isn't anywhere else that this stuff belongs in
naturally, unless we add an "analysis" menu, and then it's effectively
just a menu rename...

I'd like to see a toolbar icon added for opening/closing this panel.

Agreed. I'm hoping to get a chance in the near future to port
QtCreator's locator bar to QGIS. It's a really nice implementation,
where 3rd party plugins can hook in search providers and everything
happens in background threads. If we added something like this we
could integrate some native search providers like a layer search (am I
the only one who often struggles to find layers in the layer tree in a
complex project??) and processing algorithm search.

Then plugins can take over and add address searching facilities using
the various online facilities, native db searches, layer catalog
searches, etc...
