I have found this entire thread very disappointing. Here we have someone who suggests what to me and I suspect many others is an eminently sensible addition to Xcode and, when pressed, argues his case with intelligence, wit, passion and no little style. But the responses he gets are largely ill-informed, unhelpful and negative. Surely we can do better than this. But it seems there is more sport in shooting someone down who dares to be different than entering into any kind of useful dialog on an issue like this. And not everything Windows does is bad.

Xcode and ProjectBuilder have been around for a long time. The team that develops them has heard many, many, many times from people who like tabs. You can be certain that they are aware of the feature, but have chosen not to implement it. Given that, I really don't see what benefit there is to advocating or arguing about it on this list. Does anyone really think the Xcode team's manager is going to read the thread and say "Oh my god, six or seven people on the Internet really want tabs! Drop everything and implement them!"


If this were a feature that had never been suggested before, it could be worthwhile to talk about it (although with no expectation of results). But tabs are definitely not in that category.
