It's also nice for situations with, say, an IRC client open in multiple views... one view "dedicated" a web browser, another view for mail and a third view for whatever else. But the IRC client or Instant Message client (in my case - centericq - since the internal RSS support is sweet) is always visible so you can monitor.

I'm sure this thread will become pretty long. Many people will dislike
the removal of the multitag behavior.
As for myself, I never got used to tagging a client with more than one
tag, anyway, so I wouldn't be affected by this change.
