I'm a big fan of the tabbed UI in different apps, mostly in web browsers
since mid-1990s. This feature is a real efficiency booster that helps
to organize the workspace.
The most natural entity in Emacs to display in a tab would be a window
configuration. Actually, something like this is already implemented in
Konqueror where you can split the window vertically/horizontally in a tab.
If you try it, you will understand how convenient it is.
In the screenshot I sent, you can see Back/Forward buttons that expose
in UI a useful feature existed for a long time in winner.el (currently
winner.el is not used directly since it should be modified to support tabs).
This will work like History Back/Forward buttons in web browsers.
