I have my Emacs setup to never split anything and just use the whole frame (window). That also goes for things like helm. Instead of splitting I prefer to open multiple frames and let my window manager, manage them. This really improved my workflow.

Same here, but I let most things replace the current buffer. Magit always fills the frame though.

How do I go about doing this ?

Seems potentially workable. Youd just jump back to the last buffer a lot of time, but that's quick and intuitivr.
