"Tabs don't scale.  Tabbed browsing was revolutionary in the same way adding more tellers to a bank was revolutionary: it's, like, 4x better. w00t.

Emacs offers the unique ability to manage its open buffers in another first-class buffer, as a list. 

Imagine what your filesystem life would be like if the only view of a directory was one tab per file.  Go to your pictures directory and watch it start vomiting tabs out like it tried to swallow a box of chiclets. Fun!"

(But yeah, it doesn't _hurt_ that Emacs can
_also_ use tabs.)
