Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
One game that I replayed not too long ago which uses this is
Battle Isle 2xxx (can't remember what the x are). It is a turn
based wargame. It has several windows, that can be moved, resized,
hidden and shown:
one has the main map, another one the minimap, another one some
stats/info on the current selected unit, another one terrain
info, etc. While I agree that an action or platform game has no
need for multiple windows, it would be quite useful in a RPG or
a wargame. And of course, non game programs.
