Abstractly, I agree, but note that some UIs don't do that.  For
example, in spreadsheets typically dragging on a column divider
resizes only the column immediately to its left, and pushes or pulls
the columns to the right rigidly.  I think that behavior is pretty
plausible for multiwindow configurations in an editor, too, but
perhaps not as common as the "adjust adjoining windows" behavior you
proposed.
