Why can't lazarus has both? Something like "startlazarus -mdi" or even
better a menu switch? You shouldn't fight for dogmas. By a closer look
the linux people always prefer the use of many windows. The windows
people like it to be MDI.
The very best would be if users can dock windows together. Like dock
the properties to the main window. Now beeing one window. Then it will
only have one entry in taskbar. That would be nice! (if possible
having a window looking like a rotated L ).
