Property Panels should have a Workspace attached to them for live coding against the inspected object. The workspace should have "this" bound to the object in the inspector. The workspace will provide the usual Execute, Inspect and Print capabilities, though other options such as File are probably not necessary.
I like this idea.
Yes yes yes

we should also bind "this" to the selected node in the object inspector if one is selected.
The Property Panel should also include the inspected object as the root node of the tree. That would allow an easy way to reset "this" to the inspected object.

With bug 808370 you can edit property values and you can evaluate JS, not only set simple values. You can also use jsterm helpers. Will that be sufficient for marking this bug as fixed?

it's not quite the same thing but given that propertypanels are going away, I think we can close this bug.
