And yet, for some reason, I don't believe you. Perhaps it's because you don't show any understanding of programming whatsoever.

You neglected to mention the programing code is converted into assembly or pure binary
I also neglected to mention that apples are crunchy and bananas are yellow, because those facts are just as irrelevant. Who do you think you're impressing?

Since v3 is using SDL, that makes stuff easy. If there are truely no librarys to do something as display a new window (wich I'm sure do infact exist), then stefan could easily make one of his own for it (and I don't give a damn if you think stefan shouldn't do it because it might take more than 3 seconds to do something so basic as to tell the os to generate a new window, so don't bother sugesting he shouldn't make his own library because of his hypothetical workloads).
The whole point of SDL is that it provides cross-platform compatibility. Now you're saying that he should discard that and start writing platform-specific code?

You may not "give a damn" about increased workloads, but that's probably because you're not the one writing the code. Stefan has to balance the gains with the necessary time investment, and if the latter outweighs the former then the idea is unworthy. Such seems to be the case here, and will be so until you can give a specific way to provide multi-window functionality without requiring hours of work.

oh, and lastly, for the record my opinion is that... blahblahblah... such as backgrounds. Listening isn't you peeple's strong point.
I don't care about your fanciful meanderings, nor did I comment on them in any way. Grow up and stop guttersniping.
