After so many years on computers (first keyboard click on 1984 ZX spectrum) and using Norton Commander 3 DOS mode (before Total Commander which is an accurate clone) early on 90's I saw real need for many tabs only very few times during many years of period.
One underestimated feature that professionals keep in mind when, in long terms, choose a software for tough use is potential features that maybe never been involved with, but being there (for the great uknown situation) is a psychological plus ...

Well, I was just saying that (for me) having more than a few tabs open (in XY or web browser) leads to longer access times due to me having to figure out where the desired tab is! I've found it easier to limit myself to the few tabs that I'm actually working on at the moment which rarely exceeds 8-10 but is usually 5-6 and then switch to other sets of tabs as needed.
I'm not saying others may not have a need that they believe exists but I think how the task is approached makes a difference...maybe it's my many years working on mainframe editor (I retired in 2001) that only supported a max of two locations at one time?
