I think that's strongly dependent on individual preferences.

I'm a very abstract thinker; I don't like visual cues like tabs. They
just annoy me by taking up screen space :). I know what buffer I'm
looking for by name; looking for that name among a set of tabs is much
harder than letting Emacs look for it in a list, via pattern matching.

I also almost _never_ use the mouse; keystrokes are way faster.

But other people definitely benefit from a tabbed/mouse style, so it's
good that it is available.

Yes, thanks.

This takes time; I need to have some clue what it's about so I can
decide if it's worth it.

No thanks, I prefer to devote my pixels to Ada code :).
