If we have multiple windows, please don't make them MDI!

Having a JDesktopPane that hides everything underneath it takes 
away the point of multiple windows.  IDEA should allow files to be 
opened in their own JFrames (not in JInternalFrames inside the 
JDesktop).  That way I can move the window onto my second monitor, 
still see my web browser and pdf reference manuals.

MDI is just a major mistake (even Microsoft, their original 
proponent, no longer uses them in their apps); multiple windows 
are wonderful.
