Hmm, I don't agree, with terminals post 2000 or so.
My GUI text editor is currently showing about 8 tabs out of a dozen, with ◂ ▸ at the ends. This is comparable to the number of cells in my terminal now, ~100, i.e.:
◂│doc_one.txt ╲ doc_two.txt ╲ doc_three.tx… ╲ doc_four.tx… ╲ doc_five.tx… ╲ │▸
This is 78 "characters" wide and has extra spaces. This is enough space for typical needs, and could work even on relatively dumb terms like the linux console, DOS of yesteryear. A vte high-color term with utf8, 120+ cells wide could potentially double capacity, in number of tabs, filename length, or bit of both.
