    Unsolicited feedback: Too much wasted horizontal space. 

For the traditional Emacs mode of use, you're probably right.
But if we connect this with a (small) list of preferred buffers
for each window, there will not need to be many tabs in one window.
Then this "wasted" space could be a good thing.
