Block Chooser Redesign (0.21.3 Alpha)
The block choose dialog box got a big face-lift for this update. It should be easier to find things now, especially in those long lists, such as blocks and furniture. Instead of horizontally scrolling a single line of items, it now displays each item type as it's own tab, with three columns and a vertically scrolling view. Additionally, I went through the tabs and tried to make them more consistent and attractive.
Each placeable item will now display a tool tip when the cursor is hovered over them. This will display the name, description and categories for the item.
Here's an animated gif demonstrating the new layout (It doesn't look quite right because it had to be dithered to 256 colors, just to make a gif):
