[Qt-creator] Tabs suggestion

I agree.

Yes, I also think so. Tabs are only good for new users apparently. I 
still think that they are better than a combox.

Well, that is not true. In the scheme that I proposed, the tab wouldn't 
force the line number, close button, etc.. to be moved to a separate 
bar. It would just show less tabs using the same bar.

If it wasn't for the new users and the fact that it is more standard, I 
would say don't use tabs. Actually, dont' even use a combo box since 
apparently no one uses or likes it anyway. Or am I wrong?

I didn't read any positive comment about the combo box yet. I didn't 
consider "combo box is a much more efficient tool" for the reason 
previously stated.
