There's a hint of some negative feedback about the "tabs" drawer.  
Drawing on my current use of the bookmarks and history drawers and  
several separate bookmarks files "opened as bookmarks" I think I would  
prefer the option to have a separate window. I use the drawers just  
like drawers--open it, take something out or put something in, then  
close it. Occasionally I want to keep a list of bookmarks handy and  
persistent and then I use a separate window and bring it to the front  
when I need it. It seems that most people use a "traditional" tab bar  
as part of the window header: they work with all of it visible or not  
but do not typically toggle its presence very often. If one is not in  
the habit of opening and closing drawers, then keeping "tabs" open in a  
relatively wasteful drawer would be awkward.

Workspaces are organized in their own window since one should be able  
to work with the workspaces without having a browser window open at  
all. I would like to have the same approach available for "tabs" (which  
are really just live bookmarks) but separating them from the window  
they are sharing, which may or may not exist on screen, could result in  
some surprising behavior (user is expecting tab to open in window 1 but  
it opens in window 2...) and the visible distinction between a bookmark  
and a tab becomes an issue.

So, should the folks that want a "traditional tab" just be encouraged  
to keep their rooms clean or should/could live bookmarks be separated  
from a browser window?
