It actually works fairly well for my personal use case because I have
a single, relatively small monitor and I run everything fullscreen
anyway. And for tablets instead of desktops, the paradigm is perfect,
as long as your "tabs" aren't trying to be all crowd onto the screen
at once. That said, I switched to Mac, which has a really nice hybrid
paradigm (apps are basically tabbed, as one app has focus at a time
and you switch apps with a series of selectors at the bottom of the
screen, but individual apps can do whatever they want in terms of
windows beyond that) that satisfies me perfectly.
