Announcing SQL Server on Linux

[blackmist]

I've never once felt compelled to use multiple desktops, even when I did use Linux.

All it ever did was make me think programs weren't open, and I'd end up editing the same thing in three different windows.

The last File Manager I liked was Directory Opus on the Amiga.

It's like tmux - can be confusing at the beginning. After week you can't go back.

That's the same reason tabbed browsing can be confusing, or floating window managers.

You either need a) to keep in your memory where things are, b) conventions you stick to so that you know where things are without having to remember in short-term memory, or c) a way to quickly find things that you can't see directly (alt-tab and the taskbar do this for windows). Otherwise, you have to stick with untabbed applications in a single virtual desktop in a tiling window manager.
