The default layout of that dialog will always make it most convenient to edit the basic metadata.

I'm not against change, but I'm one of those common calibre users.
I love the dialog as it stands, being able to access all basic data in one shot. Most of the time I touch all three panes (metadata, cover and comments) when setting/adding a book. Moving to Chaley's scheme as the default would significantly get in the way.
If possible an option checkbox like the narrow wide feature might be an alternative.
