Amazing how MDI is rediscovered every couple of decades.
It becomes popular, then a UX counter-effort declares that it should be the job of the window manager and it dies off for a while.
- immibis 1y agoRelated: You can already do this on any platform that has a window manager. Nobody can tell me how MDI is a good design... what if I want to show two documents from different apps side by side?
- mmphosis 1y agoI think that windowing systems need to be way more flexible. I want to be able to drag fullscreens, workspaces, windows, tabs, MDI sub-windows, and other types of views from different programs into and out of each other. I think Serenity OS has this with windows and tabs.
