My, we do have a flair for the dramatic don't we? Generally it doesn't tend to go down well when one joins a community and then acts up against the people attempting to help and explain.

If this functionality was truly as basic a requirement as you claim then it would be in the application. The fact is that it hasn't therefore means it can't be a "basic basic basic" feature or it would have made it in long ago. I rarely have more than one or two notes open at once, if I wanted more then I would use something like @rxliuli's vscode-plugin which works extremely well and leverages all of the power of a full on IDE/editor.

Joplin has a lot of happy users and sure, I imagine some or a lot of them would like this feature (I mean, I wouldn't exactly say no) but it is hardly a dealbreaker for the masses or it wouldn't have a userbase this large and I personally would prefer for other things to be developed in preference.

There are plenty of other note applications out there, if your particular workflow is so intrinsically tied to the features of an application then I would advise using them for a bit first to work out which one actually suits your needs best - there is never going to be a one size fits all solution.
