If one uses dual large monitors, the multiple window approach is a good thing. You have space to put all the windows to be in easy view, in exactly the placement one finds most useful.

That's called docking. And there is already a docking manager that
supports even tab docking. But it is in an early state, so it can not
yet be used with the IDE. I don't know when I will find the time to
complete it, but it is definitely on my todo list.
