I laughed when I read this: "I just counted. I have 17 tabs currently open" Am I the only person that sometimes has literally hundreds of tabs open? I love tabkit, but a hundred or two tabs seems to be the limit with that approach. I'm definitely looking forward to Tab Candy...

I regularly have over a hundred tabs open in Opera. I also found this part of the article funny, "I found myself abusing tabs. Sometimes I would leave tabs opened for days, just chewing at my system memory." Wow.. tabs open for days? Try months! Once every few months or so, I go back through my open tabs and clean out the ones I don't care about, and ones that are actually worth bookmarking. On rare occasions, Opera will crash and get in to a state where it can't restore the tabs I had open. That's a real disaster... but at least it lets me start from scratch with my open tabs. I would like my tabs to be better organized, but wish the organization could be automated somehow. Even bookmarking sites and organizing my bookmarks is just too much of a hassle sometimes (though I do do it with some really important stuff). With open tabs, I rarely bother.

  I have a few tabs that have been open for years. After the first time Opera corrupted my autosave.win file I wrote an autobackup script for it (and these days it's automatically committed to a git repo every hour then backed up with the rest of my git repos).

I can't think of a time within 6 months that I’ve had fewer than 50 tabs open. :-) I wish browsers had a command to save the current tab or window-full-of-tabs indefinitely in cache (i.e. on disk), close it for now (so that flash & javascript stop taking CPU & network connections), but keep it in some separate list. It's much too much bother to save web pages to a directory on the hard drive and re-open them manually.

Am I the only person who just hooks up to Google's index and keeps one tab open for every page on the web? That way I never have to waste any time opening a page! (seriously, though, every time someone mentions tabs someone posts your comment, and every time I'm more convinced that those folks don't get a damn thing out of actually leaving that much stuff open)
