It would be nice if a little animated paper clip would
pop up and tell you that the paths were being automatically
managed for you.
Seriously, the thing I like best (so far) is that I can finally
have the same hot keys in linux as well as windows. That
was alway a huge pet peeve of mine.
And they look configurable too, so I can change them back
to what they have been for the past 15 years.

Can't you just add the NSIDC directory under "Work"? I think there is
only one "level" of projects, i.e. you cannot nest projects in
projects (projects defined by the ide, that is), but you can have
subdirectories in each project (you can think of these as projects, I
guess, but the "real" project is at the "Work" level (includes
everything in the subdirectories).

OK, I see I don't have to drag anything, they are
already in the Libraries project. (Libraries originally
didn't have an open folder option next to it when it was
created, so I didn't realize this.)
OK, I've deleted the other projects, and have my Libraries
projects set up like I want them. Now I have my Default
project, which I have renamed Work. I see that this
changes the directory name under the IDLWorkspace
directory to Work, too. OK.
Now, I am ready to add work directories to my Workspace.
I want a directory called NSIDC to reside in my Work
project. But if I create a new project named NSIDC, and
ask it to be created in the Workspace, it creates a
directory in the IDLWorkspace directory, but it adds
the project to the "main" level of projects. (Where
Libraries and Work live.) How do I get this project
to go into the Work directory and live there?
Or, is this even what I want to do? I'm still very
confused about project organization.
Cheers,
David

Yes, this was driving me mad until I discovered the "Update IDL Path
preference..." option mentioned by Doug and Chris. Turning it off
seems to have made things work like I expect.

This crossed my mind, too. :-)
