Switching is a nice idea (and in fact some Windows apps can do it), but it
requires a suitable application design to make it usable in both modes.
MDI is *not* just about the application being a window manager, it is about
sharing a framework (menu bar, toolbox windows, status bar etc) among related
tasks within an application.
