Tabs are one of those design decisions where everyone else is doing it, so it must be smart. I don't bother with tabs myself, most of my projects are small enough that I can find the files in the file list on the side in TextMate, Eclipse, etc.. I think a smarter solution would be to put recently accessed files in that file list on the side, vertically.
