When I work in GIMP what happens to me quite a lot is that I click just next to a window of an image I'm working on and all my GIMP windows are not shown on my screen anymore because I activated the application I had visibly open below the GIMP windows. To get GIMP back you have to click on all your GIMP windows in the taskbar.
In a single window interface the background IS gimp. Click next to an image by accident and nothing will happen, you'll still be in GIMP. This is the main reason for me why I am looking forward to a single window mode. Also I've slept on it and given it some more thought and I'd like to ask again if you would please give having multiple images open at the same time some more thought. IMO being able to work on more images at the same time is VITAL for a professional image editing program. (just think of cloning to name 1 example) Please give your users the options to do so in both modes, single and multiple windows.
