That's a bit like saying that if you know you are going to die in a years time then you might as well do anyway with yourself now because the end is inevitable! I don't know about you but I'd want to enjoy my last year as much as possible!

If you want to use that analogy, please factor in:

1) Reincarnation
2) The ability to try out your next life without ending your last one
3) The ability to make changes to your next life to make it better before you are forced to end your previous one

There is no need to factor these things in because there is no such thing as reincarnation and the other two are impossible.


The analogy I would use is that you're moving to a new house which is more modern and better designed than your current one, but has a few things you need to fix up before you live there. The new owner of your current house doesn't need you to move out yet, so you have the luxury of living on there, just visiting the new house on weekends in order to get those things done. Why wait until you're forced to move to make a start on them?

But what if I like the house I am living in now, most people prefer older houses, that's why they cost more. Besides that, I don't want to move, why should I be forced to?


But why do you want it consolidated? It's not an iPad or an iPhone, it's a blazingly fast state of the art computer with oodles of RAM, disk space and screen real estate, why clump it all into one window, forcing everything to be moved /removed/summoned, when only one small part of the information need be operated on?

As others have pointed out, you can have as many windows open as you like.

This is true, but when you do have many open windows in XCode 4 the experience is not good because you can't make the large project window small enough and therefore you end up moving windows about and therefore waste time.


Cheers
Dave
