Hi,

editor tabs are useful in my opinion. One of important aspects of 
software usability is consistency and ease of learning. Given that 
editor tabs exist in almost every single IDE, users are used to them and 
the usability would get worse if they would not be in NB. Note that 
every user is different in the way he works with the IDE and it doesn't 
have to be always logical :-)
