Hi, Well, the same argument was used for inspectors before the GTInspector. And now, the amount of inspector windows reduces significantly and you actually gain value in the process (because you keep track of the session).
Having windows popping up everywhere is a technical solution, but it does not mean we cannot find a better cognitive solution. I think that the overhead imposed by those windows is quite high and reducing the amount is a worthy goal.
