As I mentioned, I have done the same as you and am very happy with separate windows. On the other hand it might be good to let the developer decide what layout they prefer. Delphi and VB6 could switch between SDI or MDI interface. I just did a quick look around and would guess that 90% of all IDE's use a MDI interface (but that could also be because most of them run under Windows, which loves MDI interfaces). Examples of the most popular IDE's using MDI: Eclipse (from IBM and others) Delphi (from CodeGear) Visual Studio (from Microsoft) SharpDevelop MonoDevelop Qt Designer (from Trolltech - I know it's not a IDE) VB 5,6 (from Microsoft) Magic C++ (windows and Linux ide) JBuilder (from CodeGear) JCreator KDevelop NetBeans (from Sun) JDeveloper (from Oracle) ...etc I think the MDI based IDE's outnumber the SDI based IDE's by far.
