Makes sense for the remove/add (all) tags stuff as you proposed. But in most cases I like the window to disappear immediately. > I personally think names for tags are very silly, and a waste of time.

It may not be a good idea to use names in the default setup, but for my own personal use I like them a lot. I have chosen them specifically to my very own usage pattern and I would miss named tags and views a lot. I have a view "mail" and a view "www" and so on... also I switched to use F1-F12 instead of 0-9 for numbered views, but use them only for random stuff. And when working on projects I group my programs together in a view named according to the project, so I don't have to remember what project was what number. I have to admit this is all personal preference, but I really can't see why people should be forced to work with numbers just because these stupid machines called computers do better with numbers than with strings. Those machines were designed to work for us and not to make us work in compliance with them.
