OK, that's one point.

But that's a different point.

I'm not familiar with workgroups2, but "managing multiple groups
of [Emacs] windows" is not "most of what this thread is seeking
from frames."

IOW, so far, it sounds like workgroups2 might be an argument
*not* to use Emacs windows instead of frames.  But so far, it
does not sound like an argument for using workgroups2 (or
using Emacs windows) instead of frames.
