tab/workspace survey

Erhm... For (insert your preferred god's name here)'s sake: No! Please 
no! Workspaces solve your problem BEAUTIfully. If you really want to 
get rid of the menubar (and its GUI-schemes), head on over to the dark 
side... I'm just imagining how I'd work with InDesign and Photoshop at 
the same time if there wasn't an ACTIVE application, having control 
over the menubar and its windows... Eek... That'd mean we'd have to 
have a backdrop window like Adobe's apps running in Windows. Which'd 
hide the Desktop and other applications. That can't be what 
multitasking stands for... ;-)
