No, not all do, and the ones that don't suffer from the same disadvantage.

Satisfies everyone...

>It does use a multiple document interface.

But to really make use of it I think the central widget should be a QWorkspace,
so it really looks MDI as well.

Me and the tracker will have a rendez-vous.

This would be a mistake. Files go in and out of CM tools but how do you put a
database into CVS? I think it is important that you can use the same CM tool
throughout the lifespan of a project. I realize the benefits of using a
database, but think that's a question for a CM tool.
