Read what I wrote, Linus. The whole part that you deleted to pick the
one sentence that you don't like.

Yes, I looked at the patch. My comment was about your suggestion that
'we should perhaps kill the "create separate windows" version entirely'.

THAT is what I object to.

And I find the way that you implement the transition from the current
notebook to this one window with three areas design (for a lack of a
better term) rather odd. 

As I mentioned I'd rather do this with a config option than with magic
tiny drop zones.
