And what would happen if the developer prefers to have the "main window" of
Lazarus IDE below the Editor window? What should maximize do then?

+------+  +---------------+
| OI   |  |               |
|  &   |  |  Editor       |
| Proj |  |               |
| Insp.|  |               |
+------+  +---------------+
+-------------------------+
| main window + palettes  |
+-------------------------+


There is no rule that says the Main Window must be above the Editor Window?
Just because it is at the top by default doesn't make it a fast rule. ;-)

The solution (I think)… Lazarus needs docking support in the IDE. There are
people working on this, but I have no idea how far they have progressed.
