[Conkeror] Poll: how important is emacs-style splitting of top-level windows into multiple panes?

[Jeremy Maitin-Shepard]

How useful would it be for Conkeror to support Emacs-style splitting of
top-level windows (frames in Emacs terminology) into multiple panes
(windows in Emacs terminology)?

For me, it is essentially not at all useful, because I don't even use
multiple buffers per window, and I'd just assume let my window manager
take care of handling each buffer.  Splitting and multiple buffers per
window are in some sense window manager features implemented in the
application, and for both consistency and simplicity, it just seems
better to leave window manager features in the window manager.

Microsoft Windows is, of course, a bit of an exception since the "window
manager" is sort of fixed, not very good, and not easily changeable.

If you have thoughts on this, send a reply.
