There's a difference between multiple views of the same file and  
having a file loaded into multiple windows.

Multiple views on a file is nice, but all views would have to be kept in 
sync at all times.

The concept of loading/saving files doesn't match that well with 
the spatial/object thing and synchronized views. Therefore I think 
there would have to done something on this basic level, or Gedit 
and the like should stay as they are.
