I always have 10's of frames open when coding, so I can easily switch 
between them, while each is a full window.

I use windows a lot in conjunction with keyboard macros.  The macro will 
do something in one window, switch to the other window to do something 
else, then back.

E.g., converting a big case statement <-> macro #defines, making 
function prototypes from functions, any repetitive multi-file macro.
