Why WOULDN'T you want to be able to use tabs on all of your windows?

And why WOULDN'T you want to be able to move any tab to any edge (top, bottom, left, right) of any window?

And why WOULDN'T you want to be able to group and stack and tile tabbed windows from different applications together?

What I would like, is Emacs/Vim-style buffers. When you don't have one open, it's completely invisible. When you want to switch to it, you perform an incremental search for its title. No need to hunt for things on the screen. A lot faster and a lot more tidy wrt what's currently visible on the screen. No distractions.

If you're willing to go whole-hog, I've had good experiences using EXWM for this.
