I need to have 12 tabs, and even using the small font, it takes over 700 pixels to display them all. And since this isn't the only large-ish control in the window, it simply is just too big.

Multi-line tab controls are an absolute nightmare. And even a single line with 12 tabs is pretty overwhelming.

Progressive disclosure is good.
