I've looked several pages back into this threads history and just saw a passing comment about changing the way window handling is done.

Maybe I need to spend more time with it but I had gotten really used to keeping my most commonly used notes open all the time and then just using the task switcher to switch between them. Now I've got to switch to the open note and then go to the note switcher.

A thing in general about the note switcher not being kept as a separate window. It makes the user think a little extra before they perform their task. The user's mind has to think "I switch to TODO to open Shopping". With the new window handling its worst because the user will now have a different target in the task switcher any time they want to open a note. What about handling it like the web browser, the bookmarks window, and the bookmarks subwindow?

I'm curious, what was the instigator for the change?
