Comment (by aldeck):

 Could you stop speaking in the name of the project, there are other people
 in the team, you know?

 Your vision is quite original, using terminal for your file ops kind of
 render your opinion unusual and inadequate. Concerning your last
 paragraph, you're wrong, single window mode does it exactly the same, it
 keeps settings per folder, and I spent weeks fixing bugs in this area a
 few years ago. Window shape/position persistency works a bit differently
 though, but is definitely there contrary to other OS's. In the end, the
 only difference between the two modes is the navigator and the constraint
 of not opening the same window two times (note that spatial breaks this
 constraint considering it can show the same folder on different workspaces
 and also allows to change settings on the same folder). Considering the
 IMHO overhyped "spatial" terminology, in single window mode, i also
 organize things spatially exactly the same as in spatial mode if i want,
 except i can also associate a screen space with a task instead (and that
 will still work with multiple workspaces).
