We already have plenty of solutions to that. Look at the dual concepts of “virtual desktops” and “activities” in KDE Plasma 6.x, for example. That allows you to switch between entire suites of document/application windows in a single operation. MDI is inherently clunky because Microsoft chose to impose the stupid UI convention that there must be a top-level “application window” to contain all the application-specific “document windows”. No other GUI is built that way.
