Hi,

I'm the author of that article.

I'm studying Computer Science Engineering in Paris and also working at Netvibes.com as web developer.

I can assure you I just need one TextMate window most of the time, for web or system development.

Pretty sure everybody has a different use of virtual space and windows arrangement, I juste wanted to share some tips that worked very well for me.

Agreed, I recently installed isolator for the mac. I love it when it's on, but a lot of the time I need to switch between two or more windows. My IDE and reference document and browser; Word and Excel.

I've found it's really great for braindump type tasks where I need to write or code something quickly.

Erm, most IDEs let you split windows and most have integrated help browsers.

I use Emacs for C and Lisp coding and with both, all I really need is that one Emacs window :S
