Aloha katepano,

I'm not familiar with other programs you mention, so I might be  
misinterpreting your larger question.  On the narrower question about  
having a lot of files open and creating a view into the open files,  
Org-mode uses something it calls the Agenda.  The Agenda is extremely  
flexible, so you can create pretty much anything you want with it.   
I'm guessing that, with a bit of study and experimenting, the Agenda  
can approximate a tabbed notebook.

There is a good Agenda tutorial here:
