Description
"More than 40 Million years have passed since the twenty-first century, and the world is a very different place. The climate is much warmer than in our time, tropical habitats spread 15 degrees further north and south than today. The Greenland Ice Sheet and 80% of the Antarctic Ice Sheet have melted, raising sea levels almost 50 meters. Although there is less land above the surface than today (and even that is partially offset by the drying of the Mediterranean and uplifting of parts of Zealandia and Europe), there is much more habitable land. Yet the world is still cool enough to have significant patches of everything from tundra to desert to tropical rainforest, and this combined with the presence of multiple island continents explains why biodiversity is so extraordinarily high."This is the main description of how looks the world of the Alithocene, a future were humans are extinct and now new animals rule the planet.

Even without rising sea levels as predicted, your world could soon be a better place without ice or winter. The tropics are beginning to make your version of Earth a significantly warmer place by up to 17.5°C from the season of autumn than it is today. Parts of western Europe are beginning to feel like Hawaii or Calabasas. Biodiversity has become higher than normal today. And your version has officially removed the ice sheets from the future's face of the Earth! Excellent creativity on this map!

No problem. Even if the Earth's shapes of different continents remain the same today, the world would still be a better place for your work without winter.

I've heard that the african rift is an aulacogen, a failed arm of a triple junction of a plate tectonics rift system, and thus will not detach like that. Sorry.
Citation by Christopher Scotese, the founder of the PALEOMAP project:
"The Great Rift Valley is a "failed arm" of a triple junction (see aulacogen, www.geologyin.com/2015/02/what…) and will not open into a major ocean. The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden represent the future ocean. Unfortunately, because Africa is moving northwards toward Eurasia, both the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden will close in the near future, and will not have a chance to become major ocean basin."

To tell the truth I will not argue against or in favor of it, I think more that the rift valley for its lenght probably let it to form an sea, something like The sea of Mozambique which separate Africa and Madagascar but after pangea breakup it became in a failed rift, and still formed an sea division.
Of course this is speculation, Im not predicting what will happen in the future, it would be stupid if im saying it is going to happen.

the world would be nicer that way, less ice and more livable areas

I actually hate the antarctic, anger see a lot of land that could be habitable, covered with ice
