It's a common situation for me: reading a chapter in a coding (reference) book that runs for several pages, with specific examples interspersed between paragraphs of prose. In these cases I first do a shallow read of the entire chapter, then try to do some exercises on my own, referring back to examples only when needed.
Using bookmarks in these situations feels clunky compared to "ALT+TAB"ing. A single viewer with bookmarks is like having to rewind & forward fast a (linear) tape, while jumping around between windows is more "random access".
Being able to close all (or multiple) viewers and bringing them back all at once is useful when I want to take a break and do something else for a few hours (or days).
