As I said, though it's been a long while, I was actually a user of such applications myself. So I can tell you quite authoritatively that in those kinds of apps, *I* absolutely prefer that the app remember where my windows are and what's in them, no contest. And I would always use them alongside a slew of other apps--web browsers, text editors, mail clients, etc... most likely on a separate desktop, if I wasn't mobile, but necessarily on the same one if I was. > The results will differ based on whether the user in question has > basically just one primary application (an IDE, or some gigantic app > like Adobe PhotoShop) that they spend all their time in OK, so you admit that such apps do exist. But I guess you knew that the OP is not writing that sort of application, and know who its intended audience is, and their work habits and preferences... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
