This certainly does raise my interest in the next-gen UI, with multi-pane editors and a more Mail.app-style replacement for the project drawer, etc. -- this mode will be *fantastic* when split-panes come to pass.

I'm getting really tempted to hack Megazoomer to let you zoom multiple windows side-by-side into halves or thirds of the screen-width. After that, all we need is to support windows from multiple apps at once, and perhaps make the root magazoomed frame into a single split-view and bam! New micro-window-manager ;) -jrk
Oh carp!!!1! That would be total awesomeness. I've been fantasizing about that for years. I just don't have the first clue how to do it.
I've always wanted to be able to group windows from any random apps together in a split view. Windows has the feature to select a couple of windows and tile them, but that's not quite what i want. I want to be able to group windows together and be able to resize both at once using the space between them, just like a split view.
If we had that ability then we wouldn't necessarily need any apps to natively support split view. You'd be able to to your own split views with any windows in the system.
It'd be hot to group safari, firefox, remote desktop & textmate all together in a split view... or group my RSS reader with a safari window... or group TextMate with a finder or pathfinder window.
