Agree 100% !

I like it too. 

I think, you (we) can combine both approaches: different applications
that communicate
with each other and all _appear_ in the same window.

One way to do it (I guess) is to create a "supershell" that would
embed/swallow components.
A component is a kind of editor - text, or other. A component is a
separate app that knows
it might be swallowed and knows how to communicate with the supershell.
Directory view or project view can be components.

A component launches another one via supershell: it asks the supershell
to launch a tool
for a URL, supershell launches and embeds it.

Then, in my mind, those supershells can be docked together. After that
one supershell
might ask its sister to launch a component. So you create something that
looks like
a multi-view app like lego, dynamically.

These are ideas of my own ideal environment.
