Per Java Jive:
Whereas splurging the desktop with multiple windows and the task bar
with multiple icons for the same app makes me crazy.

Maybe it has something to do with multiple monitors?

Do you have more than one?

I have two beeeeeg monitors and one smaller one - so it's a plus to be able
to glance from sheet-to-sheet.... also, I have limited grey matter, so
remembering what is on Sheet A while looking at Sheet B is sometimes beyond
me....
