It doesn't require "loads" of windows to be open to obscure at least the 
major part of the pinboard.  Two open side-by-side is quite enough to
do it (I frequently have this when working with ArtWorks and PhotoDesk
simultaneously).

Frankly, I can't see that having your icons on the pin-board rather than
the icon bar has any great advantages.  The icon bar does at least keep
things tidy, scrolls, and can *always* be brought to the front when 
needed.   The icon bar is, after all, only a "special" part of the
pinboard.

Sure, there are ways the icon bar could be improved - for example it 
could be made double-row, moveable, have vertical/horizontal options, and
the ability to have different, customable, icon bars (perhaps accessed
from the task switcher) to suit different project needs would be nice.

As to who is or is not "using their computer properly", I guess we each
have our preferred way of working which is efficient for us.  Being
told that my particular way of working is not "using my computer 
properly" is not guaranteed to make me feel particularly friendly towards
the person who makes that assertion ;-)
