I think the initial tab view in FireFox is much more readable. In  
OmniWeb I have to keep on widening the panel from the very first one  
to see the entire site name.

But my point is - if a percentage of people who are not used to and  
don't care for OmniWeb's method of doing this (granted those  people  
are more likely not to be the members of this list, or people who  
have not decided to license it yet - like me) then why not make a  
preference to let people do it the way they like? What's the harm in  
letting people have the UI they prefer?
