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

Examples of popular IDEs running in SDI:

Eclipse
Delphi
Visual Studio
KDevelop

I don't know the rest that well, but my guess is that you can run them in SDI as well. I've actually come to prefer SDI with dragable sub-windows, which seems like a good combination of MDI and SDI. I really like having everything in one window.
