There's also the issue of screen real estate. I often have other windows (terminal, browser, the build application), and panels within the editor (git, file explorer, console, etc.). It's already a hassle to maintain all this. It would be even more annoying if when I am comparing two code blocks side-by-side, there's another view for each of those that I'd have to either manually handle, or mentally keep in mind to look for something.

Which is why I like vim and Emacs where everything is a buffer that can be displayed in tiled windows. You choose your configuration depending on the current task. Jetbrains' IDEs are ok too, at least in the old UI. You can collpase everything to the fringe with nice shortcuts (XCode does too, but the default shortcut are horrendeous).
