If only there was a taskbar implementation that offered the feature to
just group windows of the same process. I tried virtually every
taskbar/dock implementation in existence and not a single one offer
this.

As already noted, I suspect that the application windows should have the proper attributes (main/child). A *task*bar should deal with tasks, not with windows.


On a - now - side note, this whole SDI vs MDI discussion is useless.

Right. But I found it interesting to hear the opinions of others.

If you read articles about MDI vs SDI vs TDI (TDI? what a silly name
differentiation!) they are very confusing/confused regarding the
criterion that characterize them.

Right. While TDI IMO correctly describes the handling of *documents*, it also only applies to a specific window, not necessarily to an application itself.

BTW I've certainly seem some Borland dev call the old Delphi IDE a MDI.

This was my impression, too. The old (undocked) IDE allowed to view *multiple* documents (units) in multiple editor windows *at the same time*, while the new IDE only allows to view a *single* unit at the same time.
