Yes. But, is there a real need to see them at the same time ?
In the Windows world, it's the difference in
usability between Excel
and Word. I prefer separate windows, you think it "clutter". I'm glad
Zyn/Yoshimi thinks my way. ;)
You lost me in Windows world. I have no idea, or barely.
I use Mixbus 32C, Renoise, Bitwig, synths, email client and web
browser, all running at the same time. All in their respective
desktop. I am using that principle since 15 years at it works nicely,
at home and at work. At work I may have all consoles connecting to
servers in one desktop, all consoles for local compiling/development
work in another, emacs on its own full screen desktop. I always use the
same keys to switch from one desktop to another. It takes a fraction
of a second. No clutter.
Many windows from a single app on the same desktop when there is no
real need to have them, yes, clutter. I think that going this way is
just making up for not thinking much about the UI in the first place,
delegating part of the UI design to the user at run time on the account
of flexibility.
As far as it see it, not many applications are going that way. Maybe
even, rare ?
