That's just bad app design -- locking you out of all windows because
the contents of one window are being processed.

Shrug. You and I may simply have differing design philosophies on
this point (perhaps colored by what we're used to). I personally
can't think of a time -- on either Windows or OSX -- where I would
rather have had multiple invocations of an app running as opposed to
one invocation that handled multiple documents cleanly.
I can, and it occurs all the timein my work: processing sound or video
files. I have to run multiple instances of a sound or video program
if a
long process (say, audio click reduction or video rendering) is being
worked. These can sometimes take several hours. I'm happy for it to
run
them in the background while I do other things, so doing several in
parallel (longer time) is better than doing them serially (getting
up every
hour or so at night to start a new file).
