I love it!

(Other windows from the same app aren’t usually a problem — I cycle through them using Command + `, so typically the window I’m working on is covering any ones I don’t want to see.) I use Command + h a lot: this hides the app which has the focus but one can also hide all other apps with Alt + Command + h. The problem with minimizing window is that it fills up the Dock very quickly.

What I’d really like is an app that arranged newly-opened windows exactly on top of any of the same app’s windows that were already open — avoiding that cascading effect, whereby each new window appropriates a little more screen space. On a 13.3″ screen, the last thing one needs is windows with territorial ambitions.
