Too often i feel emacs places buffers or windows in seemingly arbitrary places, destroying my window setup. To circumvent this, my default display-buffer behavior is to always reuse same window. If we make more and more parts of emacs decide this on their own, I have to add more and more edge cases to make emacs behave.
That seems to be common practice among advanced users.I generally rely on the default behavior in this case except for a few commands. As far as Emacs windowing woes go, I often get bit by windows being resized improperly after quit-window.
Should we force one behavior over another?FWIW, my (moderate) preference is Eshell's behavior because it's also consistent with IELM or Dired. And I use it more.Yeah, Im inclined to agree, though I dont think we should force it.
So... use pop-to-buffer-same-window in both cases, then?It should obey display-buffer-alist anyway, so the user can still override it, as long as they know how.
