We have dedicated windows that can be tied to their buffers. > I usually work with just one frame and its mostly because the buffers can’t read my mind on which frame I want them to be on so it takes time to put them on the frame I want and that usually makes the use of multiple frames more costly than just using one frame. Actually, I believe that when Emacs chooses a window to display a buffer, it prefers a window on a frame where that buffer was last displayed. So to some degree Emacs does try to read your mind. It isn't as tight as dedicated windows, of course.
