I've been using the gimp for several years now and it has never felt comfortable having all these panels floating around, too much time was spent resizing the work window or moving panels off the top of where you are trying to work.
I agree, I guess if you have a high resolution screen then it might be easier, well if you're working on low resolution artwork.
Single window is far easier to work with, perhaps dual screen users find multi window better as they can have the tools completely off the work window, now we have best of both worlds.
I've yet to try dual screen, I'll probably give it a try on the wife's PC (she has the TV attached to her PC, for kind of dual screen usage, albeit with 7 foot between screens).
I for one welcome our single window overlords.
