Ok, I realised how I can try to *prove* that it was a totally wrong change.

Entire purpose of having splits (anywhere, your IDE, console, whatever) is
being able to **COLLOCATE** different contexts (panes/tasks/outputs).

The problem is that the current behaviour has almost zero capacity for
achieving this.

Imagine I have an existing split (split1 at the top, split2 at the bottom).
Imagine now I want to open another split3. I can either open split in the
existing tab (but it means it will be a 3rd split, and it will be too small,
and therefore I cannot do it forever), or (eventually) I will need to open
another tab.
Now, how can I achieve the task of collocating the splits? For example I want
to bring split1 next to split3, what do I do?

With previous behaviour I could do it easily. Now it is impossible.

Does it make sense?
