Unfortunately environment scopes are only available on premium so I can't demonstrate that, but it solves one of the major issues with the existing UI in that it doesn't give you an environment-centric variable view.
Also, it looks like it's only possible to view inherited variables when viewing the vars for a project. Group's don't show the inherited variables for their parents.
I also much prefer the project tree view to clicking around the gitlab UI so much, and when you're configuring a pipeline its quite tedious.
