Finally! Nice to see some innovation on the Windows desktop (although, as others have noticed, MS moved only after Apple added per-app tabs first). I like that it (seemingly) can group related documents from different applications - like I can switch between vi and a command line in tmux with Ctrl+a,a. Why couldn't I do the same with graphical applications? Interestingly, the GNOME 2 human interface guidelines recommended way back that you shouldn't use tabs in your application, because it was expected that the window manager will "soon" get native tabs.

What per-app tabs are you talking about? This whole idea is actually cross-app tabs.

  On recent macOS, you can group multiple windows from one app together. It's quite clever, because the convention was already to have simple toplevel windows for each document. Apps can simply opt in and you can get tabs for free.
