well, it;s also not available on other platforms, which may or may not 
be an issue for you.

Why not just put them each in their own wx.Frame?

AUI is OK too, but I know I prefer top-level frames -- that allows me to 
arrange not just the windows of that one app like I want, but also 
arrange them with other apps windows.

Personally, I find myself hardly ever working with just one app at a 
time, so it really bugs me when I have to make one app take up all (or 
most) of the screen to use it.

I think that makes the most sense anyway -- so it's clear what canvas 
you are manipulating.
