TopXNotes 2 (now in beta) adds “Open in Seperate Window” as an option that addresses that “best of both worlds" concept.

On the other hand, I like the way Apple has implemented its multiple views approach in Xcode. Before apple did that there were just way too many windows jumping around and opening in seeming random oirder at random times. Now I get some CUI as things appear almost always where expected.

Now, randomly, the windows will show what Xcode thinks is related content, or the debugger, or some other file I happened to double-click... I didn't mind having 50 windows open, the Windows menu managed that nicely.
