I should do that; it’s just that I’m not really sure of what exactly I
want here.  There are countless solutions (like setting windows to be
dedicated, for example), but each of them comes with potential
drawbacks.  I would need to know what “less surprising” really means to
me (and inexperienced users), so that I can evaluate the drawbacks and
constrain the set of solutions.

Perhaps the new tabs feature that is now available in the latest
unreleased version of Emacs might be of interest here.
