Comment (by cipri):

 I think it needs a poll related to that subject. From what I have noticed,
 nearly all want the single window, and not the spatial mode. So why
 annoying, let's say 99% of users ( i dont know who big it is, but it is a
 lot more than 50%), when in fact just a few developers prefer the spatial
 mode? Why can't that few developers change to spatial mode manually after
 they install haiku, especially because they know where they can change it.
 But a new user, which doesnt know that he can switch from "spatial mode"
 to "browser mode" and who also doesnt know about the keyboard short-cuts
 will be very bothered by the spatial mode, where he ends up with a tone of
 windows on this screen.
