Like vim or emacs?
>window panes are very much a standardized UI part which has a completely non-standard interaction design in Blender. For no reason.
It's called "tiled window management". Lots of people find it more comfortable to use than the classic overlapping windows.
True, but when speaking about "lots", we have to keep in mind that tiled window management for the general public died together with Windows 1.0. That probably puts the percentage of the public who's ever used tiled window management around 0.001% of the total PC using population :)
And came back with Windows 8 :-)

You know how bad it is, if Microsoft lowest-point is your high point.
Yes. There's reasons the popularity of those is waning.

It's got nothing to do with tiling. There's plenty of other software out there that's meant to be used with tiled windows. The interactions in Blender are unique to Blender, non-intuitive and non-discoverable.
There is a tiling window manager INSIDE blender used to control its window frames. It works pretty much like any other tiling manager. You immediately grasp the idea if you've ever used one.
