hm, interesting. But don't you think that it is easier to find a specific window with 
tabs when you have a lot of them opened? Tabs do not overlap, tabs help you to 
identify windows by just displaying their label/title/icon/color/whatever, tabs make 
hidden windows visible and accessible, etc.
You see no value in that?
Most of the time I open a lot of windows (browsers, debuggers, inspectors, 
workspaces, etc.) in Squeak, and sometimes they overlap, some windows get completely 
hidden by others, and so on. Tabs would help me a lot to deal with that.
