alt Hacker NewsMaybe I’m old but this sounds like MDI (multiple-document interface) of the late 90s.
Went the way of the dodo probably because it’s hard for non power users to grok.
But this is a power user tool - seeems like a fit!

I think MDI style interfaces went out of fashion because there were a lot of programs that implemented an entire window manager and then only really needed one window. This added a ton of complexity that wasn't needed most of the time, because window management is really a job for a different program.
