The single view idea is used by many project management tools and requires a user to do the parsing. Clicks are still required to gain access to the project meat. This means quite a bit of both scrolling and clicking.
The design itself doesn't lend itself well to either behavior. Menus don't scroll with you, click targets look to be fairly small.
I'll reserve judgement until I try it myself, and 37signals need simply release this and it will be accepted with acclaim, but I'm not seeing what benefits these changes bring. That said, it is crazy fast for an early build!
