I've said this many times...  you can tell TM to keep only the windows of
the foreground application open.  With this option, it can switch faster
than SI.  How ever, being able to keep all application's window visible is
one of their selling point ( Mac Finder like... ).

SI is compatible with ALL the desktop application I own.  I can't say the same
for TM, but TM is decent.  But for non-desktop application, TM seems to be
more compatible.  For exmaple, ProSEL, Columns, VIAD... etc. doesn't work
with SI.  SI currently have zero support for ProDOS 8.

If Jawaid take some of my suggestions for SI, next version of SI will kick butt.
