I think we need both: 1. per-frame tabs are useful to switch window configurations (in other IDEs named "perspectives"). 2. per-window tabs are useful e.g. to display a list of buffers visited in the window (`window-prev-buffers'). This is similar to other IDEs where per-window tabs can be used to select from a set of buffers like compilation, help, messages, etc. Could you please provide examples of using side windows and atomic windows?
