Tabs are amazing for visual thinking. I use them as a shortlist of my mental workspace.
As for Emacs, "open files" mean nothing for me as an end user. The editor could hide that feature away and I would still work in the same way. I just use projectile and neotree to switch to the file I want. And efficient as that may be, I still lack a visual cue of what I'm doing. Tabs do that job perfectly.
- dietr1ch 9y agoEven if you need the list, you don't need it constantly, only when you need to recap, where you could just hit `SPC b b` and get the list of buffers to see all the "tabs" you need, furthermore, that can show you way more information than what a single line of tabs could. Another thing to consider, how often do you need to look at the buffers, but not change to another buffer?
