Message-ID: <yg563uubn0e.fsf@nested.ece.lsu.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87wsnaso3h.fsf@jurta.org> (Juri Linkov's message of "Sun, 06 Apr 2008 23:52:18 +0300")

I frequently work with new users of Emacs and perhaps their biggest
frustration is switching between buffers (or even just knowing that's
what they need to do).

If the tab bar by default provided one tab per buffer that would be
great for such users.

OTOH I'd leave it turned off.
