Other "single biggest lacking features" are: docking, android, dyn packages, pkg
repository, installer, offline help, ...

No, it is not implemented yet.

If you only want one window to easily switch the active project and using that

If you want to have several projects open at the same time (e.g. for debugging),
then it will be a big task.
