Having the option is nice yes. A 13 inch screen on a laptop is a good
example.
Personally I find multiple windows a very nice distinctive feature on Linux
vs. other OSs, especially for complex applications which offer different
'interaction paradigms'. An example is a sequencer : having a new matrix
window open possibly for multiple tracks is useful, having another window for
the score editing. Possibly putting those windows on different workspaces.
Also the option e.g. to only those windows (not the whole application)
'always on top' can be useful (and it's good to have options)
Throw in the multitude of window managers out there and choice is really
wide.
On a desktop with two or more monitors, The ability to detach windows
makes for a nicer quicker workflow. Monitors are cheap any more. If I am
paying $90 in Canada, they must be $65ish US.
