If only there was a taskbar implementation that offered the feature to
just group windows of the same process. I tried virtually every
taskbar/dock implementation in existence and not a single one offer
this.

On a - now - side note, this whole SDI vs MDI discussion is useless.
If you read articles about MDI vs SDI vs TDI (TDI? what a silly name
differentiation!) they are very confusing/confused regarding the
criterion that characterize them.
BTW I've certainly seem some Borland dev call the old Delphi IDE a MDI.
