I thought the whole point of the Windows taskbar was to give you tabs for all your windows? Why did they feel the need to add tabs again!

- marcosdumay 2y agoThe default Windows taskbar doesn't haven't given you tabs for a very long time, has been mostly unusable if you use it as tabs recently, and only has 1 level of tabs, while keeping tabs inside the application gives you another. That said, I'm not sure notepad benefits from it.
- croisillon 2y agoif we were still allowed to have a vertical taksbar we could have enough tabs indeed
- ZoomZoomZoom 2y agoTo answer seriously, because workflow is a tree. And the outer levels need task-specificity. Browser tabs need different display options and available actions from text editor tabs, etc. A generic taskbar (Windows one included) is only passable for the root level of switching contexts (on *nix there's also couple levels below that: virtual consoles and virtual desktops of the DE).
