For me it *is* windows and not applications. When I say project it is 
usually a C++ project, for which I'm old school and use emacs and 
gcc/make at the command line. I like to have one-file one-frame with 
emacs, so this means for a single project I will typically have 10 emacs 
windows and a couple terminals. Throw in a web browser, cvs client etc. 
and they add up.

I really don't want all these windows mixed in with similar numbers from 
other projects, all on the same desktop.
