I just tried for 10-seconds and it might do the right thing. However,
killing the view buffer with C-x k RET does not. And other things that
likely use the equivalent of bury-buffer don't either. Doing any C-x 4
like stuff will lose you the point information in the other window,
permanently. M-x gnus RET in particular will leave a mess after
finishing concerning both window configuration and buffer selection (at
least if you view at least one article and thus get into split view).
One major drawback of many window systems is productivity loss because
you have to move around and rearrange windows in order to get a certain
job done. And the Emacs windows assignment methods cause similar user
threshing where you have to invest time to regain a working
configuration.
