In Eclipse, there is one area that the editor windows go in. Inside the
editor window, you can have an arbitary number of "tab groups", arranged in
various ways. Each tab group can have multiple files open, hidden behind tabs.
The bigger issue is the amount of screen real estate you need to make this
style of working effective. :)
Eclipse is modelled on Visual Age for Java, in many ways. VAJ, in turn, was
modelled on Visual Age for Smalltalk.
