demallien, I actually did offer a better solution: Xcode needs to implement tabs. As for your script idea, Xcode actually implements this via the "Open Quickly" command, but this doesn't solve any of the issues I outlined in my article. There is a difference between open ecosystems that you can change at will (emacs, vim) and closed ecosystems that you can only change so far as the manufacturer lets you (Textmate, Xcode). To propose I "just write a script" is really to ignore my entire post and it's detailed explanation of why different window management systems work in different climates.
