I just prefer working this way; the "code" instance will have easily 40+ files open at any time, the other one is much leaner and switching between buffers tends to get easier. Switching buffers with two frames can land me in the other frame (if the buffer is already visible there) and often this is not what i want. Guess this is just the mind thing, trying to keep things separate.
