When using applications (in this case a map editor), what interface do you generally prefer? I'm currently working on a map editor for my stock code library. I'm hesitating a lot on which design route to take though. So I figured I might as well ask the kind of people who would use it.
When working on map design and such do you usually prefer using Multiple Document Interfaces, Single Document Interfaces or Tabbed Document Interfaces? I'm on the side of SDI myself, the interface always tends to look cleaner and easier to use, it also makes menus, toolbars and so forth far more user-friendly. However they do have a huge problem when it comes to trying to edit multiple things at once, namely that you have to open multiple application instances for each thing you are editing. MDI also seems to be deprecated, microsoft standards generally prefer people not to use it anymore.
What are you thoughts?
