Having "played" with various variants of design, we have come to the same conclusion - the analyzer warnings (as well as the compiler warnings, for example) are more convenient to view and analyze in the classic horizontal "grid". Yes, the notification interface is comfortable (it is on the picture to the right), when it is necessary to issue two-three messages that require attention, but when a user needs to work with dozens (and sometimes with even thousands) of messages - the benefits of tables become really obvious. Of course, after the initial setup, the developers usually have to deal with several messages on the new code - if the analyzer is used properly, i.e. regularly. But the initial set-up phase is equally important, and often the success of the further use of the analyzer depends on the correctness of its implementation. However, we've gained an interesting idea from the notifications window for the differentiation of warnings according to the "severity" level - by using colour strips.
