FWIW, your post (even including the VS behavior hate) is an accurate description why we don't do MRU tab switching in Chrome. It's a very common feature request[1], but we think we can do better and don't want to ship a middling stopgap. [1] Few people that request it continue to request it after trying it in a browser that supports it. Certainly the number is significantly below those that prefer tab-order switching.
