'Twas brillig, and Michael Scherer at 07/03/11 07:48 did gyre and gimble:

+
+I completely agree, however I also completely refuse to work
+differently... (not because I'm being stubborn, but mainly because I
+just don't work like that - tried it, and failed miserably...)
+
+But I totally agree about how much functionality is being pushed into
+Browsers that should be the domain of the WM... I find tabbed browsing
+very similar to the MDI (multiple document interface) from many moons
+ago on Windows... when e.g. Word would have several documents open but
+only one "Word" application. The paradigm is the same a decade later.
+
+Then you get the whole tab candy UI in FF, it's really what the WM
+should be doing, not the browser... but then there are arguments for
+doing it in the browser - it can cheat and not really load the web page
+- to work at the WM level there would have to be more complex protocols
+between WM and app.
+
+Anyway, this is heading distinctly off topic. Suffice to say I agree,
+but still can't work that way :D
