Or rebooting a single machine between two modes. Or figuring out how to virtualize one within the other, or both under a third. Or other such hang-a-bag-on-the-side bandaids. “Optimum” because you can do it within the same user session. “Optimum”, in short, because it requires the least work on the part of the user. > As I think about this I do see the value more to how macOS does it. > With the single menu and not having apps be tied to any given window > (they can even have zero documents open), and with the use of tabs I > sorta get it. But then, you could have the situation where the frontmost window does not belong to the frontmost app -- the menu bar says one thing, the visible window says something else. Resiling from what your AI said, that both approaches have their benefits?
