Sending the entire wallet balance is super painful #981

Would it be possible to make sending the entire balance in a wallet easier? Here's the scenario and my thought process from the perspective of a casual/power user.

As a user with 0.97759033 BTC ($1248.17), I want to transfer that amount to another address.

  1. First off, I don't know what the current fee is. It's not listed anywhere in the Send Payment dialog, even though there's plenty of space for that.
  2. I think I saw somewhere the fee was 0.0001 BTC, so I'll attempt to send 0.9774 BTC. Got error "Insufficient money".
  3. Okay, sending less and less... even for 0.9760, I get "Insufficient money, missing 97601000 satoshis". As a (somewhat) casual user, I can't quite remember how may satoshis in a BTC. A quick search reveals 100000000 (note the lack of digit groups, which is the same problem with "97601000". So I need to mentally calculate that 97601000 is 0.097,601,000 BTC, which is close to the 0.1 BTC fee cap, which is an unacceptable $124!

I still haven't managed to empty my wallet, and I hope the arduousness of the process has been well illustrated.
