I feel the need to chime in here.
I'm usually editing some code - one editor.
Then I'm building and get some errors - second editor.
I either have to change to the second editor to fix those errors or I
have to look them up in my main editor.
When the compiler is satisfied, I start a debugging session - and get
my third editor window.
People - what's the _point_ of all those additional editors? It
doesn't make anything easier for me. It's just confusing and a lot
more work, since I need to deal with three windows now instead with
just one.
I want to have ONE main editor. In case I need some file in a separate
editor, I know how to open one myself, thanks.

Exactly my opinion.
Honestly, the first time that I saw this behavior in 1.5 beta, it was
completely impossible for me to believe that this change was introduced
on purpose. I thought its just an obvious glitch in the UI which would
be naturally fixed before final, thus no need to file a bug.
There is another UI mis-feature that I have seen in 1.5 beta where I
would be thankful if someone could tell me if its still there, because
I don't want to download 400MB just to find out that the 1.5 final UI
is just as broken in this regard (I work in single window mode):
1) I have a file "foo.c" open in the main editor
2) I close it by hitting cmd-shift-w (the file name is still selected
in the Groups & Files pane)
3) I want to open the group "bar" in the Files & Groups pane
4) As soon as I hit the triangle to open the group, the file "foo.c" is
re-opened in the main editor
This is an extremely annoying feature that makes me literally angry,
because files which I closed just 5 seconds ago suddenly re-appear when
they shouldn't. A similar problem exists with executables and targets
in the Files & Groups pane. Whenever I click on them, an unwanted pane
appears at the top of my main editor - what its purpose is - I don't
know and I don't care. It shouldn't be there because I never told Xcode
to open a pane.
Oh well, judging from what I've read so far about the final release it
looks like I'm going to spend many hours filing a few dozen serious
bugs against the 1.5 UI...
