I've been using it since the day it was available in safari. At the time I thought it was a great improvement to right clicking on the safari dock icon and selecting windows from the popup list (and it was). Going to the 'tab area' of the safari window just never became natural or automatic for me. I think I am starting to agree with those people who thought tabbed browsing was a user interface mistake. It just doesn't mesh with the way I interact with windows of my other apps (expose). I feel the feature is great for windows or linux browsers because it greatly reduces window clutter, which is a big problem on that side of the fence. I'm glad the feature is there for those who like it but I'm going to give it the boot on my comp. Oh drat, i will really miss being able to open all my bookmarks in tabs...oh drat.

One other big problem. Safari likes to offset new windows to the right and down. this covers up my ichat buddylist. Is there anyway to change this behavior?

Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?
