Has anyone heard of multiple windows? Do we really need to control
every aspect of coding, building, debugging and running through the
same
cramped window.

This is a good point and possibly a limitation in the debugger. It
would be nice to have the option to have multiple windows (and a handy
way to toggle back and forth from them?). I have always wondered why
everyone gives you the option of multiple editing windows but only ONE
debugging window (and I have used many debuggers and emulators).
This is the first version of PB to include everything in a single
window. I recall Steve extolling the virtues of simplifying the UI by
eliminating a profusion of windows, but I think PB is an example of
taking this a bit too far. When debugging a Cocoa app, it can be
pretty difficult to have the app window and PB's window visible at the
same time. Earlier PB's had a small debugger window that included
debugger controls and console. This window could be placed on the
desktop so it wasn't obscured by the app's window which was nice.
Apple wants everyone to buy their ACD 22' Displays to fit PB.
