One frustrating bit of people making web apps is that not enough apps consider using multiple windows by default.

E.g. Element would be nicer for me if I could pop out the spaces list from the threads, or view threads in new windows.

I think tabs and assuming full screen viewing contribute to devs not going outside that box.

Also, @agregore not having support for tabs means that I've been thinking more about windows on their own and wanting to have more smaller windows accross my screen instead of more big ones.

@mauve 100%! I feel like this issue is somewhere in between "every app reinvents tabs/window management while it should be an os-level feature" and the fact that multiple windows/multiple screens is a "power user" thing, and that category kind of disappeared from software in general
