Adobe Illustrator Color / Color Picker is driving me insane (Gradient)

I would like to change the color palette of the Color tab, to look like the one from custom plugin MagicPicker or the one in Color Picker. MagicPicker plugin won't work when selecting gradient colors (it will just replace the gradient completely), Color Picker doesn't allow for real-time changes, you need to select the color and press ok to see the change every time. Color tab works perfectly, but the color palette is impractical to use. I have no clue why they didn't use the same setup as in Photoshop, where the Color tab looks exactly like the Color Picker in Illustrator.
