My experience is simply that the two-pane window requires clicking on a reaction button and the one-pane window does not. Seems to have everything to do with how the windows handle pressing the ENTER key. I craft a lot, mostly writs, and I use the single-pane window because I can just hit ENTER twice to start the next repeat of the current recipe. As long as ENTER is the only key I press, focus stays on the reaction buttons. This saves enough time to more than make up for the time spent going back to the recipe pane to pick the next recipe.
