Dolphin is better than that<g>, and yes, it is a shame that it is tied to Windows. In fairness, I would have made the same initial decision as they did, but I would have started investigating wx or some other toolkit as early as XP's release, and would have gotten serious about it shortly thereafter. The feature you are describing is what they call an idea space, and it is probably my least favorite features of Dolphin. That said, the single main window of Pharo is both a blessing and a curse. It is nice if I have reason to run two images at once; it is less than optimal most other times.

This is just another reason why multiple native windows would be nice, though, leaves the problem for someone else :)
Interestingly enough a lot of the (complex) multiple native window applications have (gone back to) all in one window UIs (Eclipse, all of the Adobe products, ...).
That was one of the last major developments on Dolphin Smalltalk before development was scaled back - a very nice tabbed window container for all of your workspaces, browsers, etc. I think the only thing it didn't hold was the Transcript, unfortunately. Dolphin's a fine piece of work - such a pity it's Windows only.
