Generally I'm more on Louigi's side of the argument here. I find lots of windows opening by default distinctively annoying. However, there are obviously use cases, such as with multiple workspaces or monitors. I'd prefer this to be user configurable though.
The UI toolkit I use for Praxis LIVE starts off as single window, but allows the user to drag features around inside the main window, or outside into a new window. Surely that's a feature of most UI toolkits that support MDI, and actually meets both requirements above?
