How do you figure?  Opening in a separate window on double-click is the default, just like it was in Xcode 3.

Applications are migrating away from the flotilla of floating windows for good reason: It's a mess.  It was a lazy cop-out in which developers simply decided not to do any real design work, and shift the burden onto the users by making them herd windows around all day.  Not to mention the counter-productiveness of trying to work in a UI that allowed all the crap on your desktop and other apps' UIs to show through the one you're trying to use.

I hope you get all the flack you deserve with such an uninformed comment.

If what you write were true, you could apply it to all and any context. The logical conclusion is that overlapping windows should be banned everywhere. This is dumb.

I personally loathe this Windows 2.0 point of view. The world has evolved. Macintosh happened in 1984. Since then, I've got the freedom to organize my information is small rectangle-shaped context areas called windows that I can set up anyway I like, even overlapping, even on different screens.

What you propose is to remove some of my freedom: no more overlapping. No more several screens.

Also note that what you want *can* be done with windows. You can simply tile them. There. Simple.
