The thing is, when you are using a tablet inteface. How would you intercat
with multiple windows?
We shouldn't add features just for the sake of features, if so we would
still be using the terminal
only as it's the only (yet?) invented interface that can do anything. We
don't want that
we want an interface that simple and easy to navigate if it looks good that
would be a bonus.
To do this we have to say, "this feature should be in because it's needed
and works". Not just
"this feature looks cool, lets add it".

Could someone write some good use cases for a multi window/more advanced
side stage?
