Comment (by pulkomandy):
It is easy to detach tabs after they are created, I think that is simpler
and better than making it optional.
In the case of Icon-O-Matic, I like the idea that the window are stacked
by default, because it also allows to rapidly switch between the two
windows and visually compare two icons and see if everything lines up.
For the more "philosophy" thing, it really depends on what you're doing.
Usually text editors in big IDEs will allow you to have both tabs and a
split-screen so you can fit 2 or 3 documents side by side. Both are
useful, and screen splitting can only get you so far (after 2 or 3
documents, or maybe 4 to 6 if you have a large screen and small font), you
need another way to manage your work. But really it's a case by case
thing, and different applications will need different ways to do things.
And possibly even the same application in different contexts, which is why
Stack&Tile is a nice way to handle this: it can be easily modified by the
user to fit whatever they are doing.
