I dare the "world" to make a SDI (as in non-Window-in-Window, because using tabs is also considered MDI these days) image editing/drawing program that doesn't have a UI that suck :-P. When you need to have two or more documents open side by side, or maximize your document to take the whole screen except the tools and menu, you don't want your taskbar cluttered with all open documents, then MDI is really the solution, not matter how "old" it is. Also i like mIRC's MDI interface because i can have multiple channels on screen at the same time (in contrast to the tabbed approach most IRC clients use these days which require you to switch tabs). Yes its a matter of taste, but i don't consider it a good idea to remove stuff because some people dislike them (generic note, it doesn't apply here, MDI isn't implemented in Lazarus yet).
