The Page tree was *the* reason for me to choose Typo3. It helps to get 
an overview of the site structure.
Users are familiar with tree structures and it makes it easy to grasp 
something as abstract as a website structure.

I only feels a little unnatural to first select an activity and than the 
page.
I think its more natural if you select the tree and after that select 
the activity.

The activities can be 'tabs' on top of the work area. You have the same 
'quick-switching' but it feels more logical. And both UI can life 
together. Just like the top-menu and leftmenu navigation allready do)
