Not really. The main point is that there should be only 1 window listed
in the task list, and clicking that should simply raise all lazarus windows.
How this is achieved (MDI/SDI) is not really relevant.
The first thing I did when using Delphi 2005 and up was switching back
to the 'old' layout.
Each his preference. It would be best if lazarus offered you the choice
instead of forcing you to use one model or the other.
Open source is all about choice, after all...
