Well, yes and no. IDEA has two modes: In the normal one, you get the tabs on 
top of the editor. As soon as you select a file, e.g. in the FileSel, the tab 
closes and put's you right into the editor. (In fact, it will close when you 
double click, and stay on top if you single click). This is _very_ neat, as 
you get maximum screen space, and can still access classes and files quickly.
I will implement the auto-closing, it will just need a small modification to 
the part interfaces.

The second mode will get you a splitter and put the tab next to the editor.
This is nice, but a bit more work to implement, so I left it for later ;)

Well, you can download the IDEA. It is a Java app, and runs well. Only problem 
is that the eval key expires after 3 week ;(

Well, after the restructuring, I essentially got this one for free ;)

Ok, will do.
