No MDI works well with a large number of files, all implimentations will suck becuase there is no perfect way to do it. Also Gtk 2.0 supports Doc/View very well, Qt Doc/View is difficult.

No, it does not work well with a large number of
files. As soon as you have perhaps 5 files open,
the tabs won't fit into the window width (on a
usual 17" monitor) and you have to scroll. And
scrolling a tab bar is a lot slower than choosing
a file from a popup menu.

For the other statement, I suggest you go
trolling on gnotices.

you also can place tabs on two or more rows (like together do). that way you can access a lot of files really fast

And at the same time you fill valuable vertical screen space with your tab rows.

Besides, you can reach the same effect by putting
buttons with all file names in a tool bar. In
this way, you don't restrict the user interface
to one show one file at a time, which is what
tabs do.

i have no problem sacrificing screen space to be able to reach every file in one click (because when coding, i really have to switch a lot, and 90% of the procedures i write are really small, so i can see a whole procedure in together in an editor window that takes less than 50% of the screen (i also have an uml class view open)
anyway ... seems we ran into a matter of taste yet again :) configurability for president !
