> I don't really understand the "line in my terminal for everything else" reasoning, as I don't mind alt-tabbing. What exactly don't you understand about it? For me it's the single most frequently used environment, I can do more things and do them faster than in any other way. What is there about it not to understand? Then, I don't mind alt-tabbing either. I do mind, however, the amount of it. I have multiple terminals open and I operate at the limit of my abilities to manage them. With a separate GUI window, I would either have one more window to switch through (and thus I would be over my limit) or have one terminal less to execute commands. > But I really don't understand the "constantly opening and closing my editor" thing. A workflow thing. I don't understand people running GUI for version control, or GUI for simply opening a file in a directory tree, yet people do that all the time.
