Until I started using a tiling window manager, Emacs frames were mostly
useless.
Tiling window managers automatically place and size windows. No need to
think about where to place new windows (frames)...or where to find them
later. They just appear and you continue working.
Using a tiling window manager with Emacs frames feels kind of like
navigating Emacs windows in a single frame. But navigation is much
easier than typing "C-x 5 o" several times. All of the tiling window
managers I've used have very good keyboard support.
Here's my current setup for creating new frames:
(defconst tiling-window-manager-p
(and (equal window-system 'x)
(if (member (getenv "WM_CMD")
'("awesome" "awm" "clfswm" "dwm" "ion" "larswm"
"parti" "ratpoison" "stumpwm" "subtle" "tritium"
"trswm" "whaw" "wmii" "xmonad"))
t))
"Is a tiling window manager being used?")
(if tiling-window-manager-p
(setq special-display-buffer-names '("*Apropos*"
;; "*Backtrace*"
;; "*Help*"
"*compilation*"
"*grep*"
"*ielm*"
"*info*"
"*mail*"
"*tex-shell*")
special-display-regexps '("\\*Man.*\\*"
;; "\\*gud.*\\*"
"\\*shell\\*.*"
;; "\\*sldb.*\\*"
"\\*slime-repl.*\\*")))
