Not at all :-)  I run separate editors if the files aren't related.  But if,
for example, I'm working on a programming assignment that has several files,
all related to each other, then I prefer having them all tabbed in the same
editor.  It makes finding them easier and it doesn't clutter up my task
bar as much.
