I would love to have something like tab candy in Chrome. As it is, I have between 8 and 12 Chrome windows open in different workspaces, each containing a certain group of tabs. For example, I typically read HN in my "recreational-web-browsing" window. It has my email, my RSS, twitter/identi.ca, HN, etc. In another window, I have the set of webcomics I want to start reading or am in the process of catching up to(so that I start subscribing by RSS instead). In four windows, I have all the web-pages I've been reading for various projects I'm working on. In another are my online placement tests for my university. With something like tab candy, I would end up consolidating the webcomics and possibly the placement tests into groups of tabs within the recreational browsing window. I might consolidate some of the project windows together(although the Emacs and terminal windows I keep open associated with the projects might deter me from doing this much.
Concerning not organizing permanent bookmarks, tabs can be as permanent as you want them to be in any browser with a "save tabs on exit" or similar option. But they're also much easier to organize. Just move windows and tabs about. Of course, they do take up memory, but if I had something like tab candy with an option to individually mark tabs as not needing to be kept loaded, that would almost certainly totally replace my use of bookmarks.
