>From what i understand this type of interface is called TDI and very
popular nowdays, the old Laz/D7/Gimp was SDI and things like child
windows in a bigger main window is MDI (like Photoshop).
Newer versions of Delphi are wonderful because you can configure
almost anything, i personally like the sliding options and reposition
everything in a similar way D7 and Laz but stick them together, one
thing Delphi has is that the form designer is also docked and you can
easily switch from code to design mode and object inspector adjusts to
that, also one can add tabs or sliding panels with the less used
toolbars, D7 also had some docking options and better response when
restoring the IDE, not having to repeatedly click on the taskbar is so
much better, at least GNOME is very annoying when it comes to multiple
windows grouped, it keeps changing the place in the group using the
form title, making it even worse to work with. I think many people
(including myself) use a second desktop for Lazarus, VMware, VNC and
such :)
