not true: Especially ECB could have great benefit from the "groups"!
ECB not only displays special "browsing" windows but often also a 
compile-window which should also be prevented from being deleted but
should handled slightly different - especially the window-switching
commands could benefit from the groups-feature!

Running next-window or other-window in a typical ECB-layout will take
usage of the "group"-parameter!

So my recommendation: Do not conflate
