Something I would LOVE to see (not only in a shell but in all tools) is some kind of "project mode".

- In Chrome/Firefox I'd like to have a mode for recreational browsing, one for research of webdesign and one for fitness/health stuff. This basically means that I want to click at a browser window and say "This is now my fitness window. Please remember all the open tabs". And then there is a list of open sesions/projects where I can switch between those views/instances. I'd like to be able to close my fitness-window (without losing my fitness tabs) and then re-open the same fitness-window on the next day.

- For Dolphin/other_filemanager I'd like to see a "normal" mode for everyday browsing, a mode with large icons for sorting pictures and some mode for working with Python scripts in which the nautilus terminal is always open

- for Sublime I want a scratch window where I open and edit random small files, one for my html coding and one for my Python coding

Currently for almost every program we only either have one "session" or some really specific project settings (like Visual Studio) but I'd like to see something in between.

For example I have a lot of HTML files open in Sublime and I need to edit some unrelated config file. If I just open this config file it will open in the same window as the html files. What I'd like to have is a way to say via comment line or context menu "open this file in scratch pad mode".

The same for Dolphin. If I have one instance of Dolphin open for picture management with large icons and I have to do some Python file editing I'd like to have a simple way of saying "Open Dolphin in python mode".

Or sometimes I have a random link. I want to open that link in my "random browsing" instance of Chrome and not in the window which has currently all my fitness tabs open.

And the same is true for video players, music player, ebook programs, ...

Sounds like you're asking for 'Tab Groups'. It used to be a feature built into Firefox, but recently got removed due to lack of use, it is however still available as an add-on (mostly using the existing code that was removed from Firefox itself afaik):

I used to love and use Tab Groups but it was always amazingly slow on my PC (old-ish Celeron 2.6 Ghz)

Firefox's Session Manager (http://sessionmanager.mozdev.org) does almost exactly what you want.

Chrome has this feature already, with the concept of Persons. I have a "Work" person and a "Home" person, which gives me a different set of cookies, extensions, pinned tabs etc...

I know about persons but I'd like to share my cookies and other stuff between all my "projects". I tried to use it but it is too separated for my uses.

You should try Session Buddy for Chrome: it does just what you asked.
