Why I don’t take tabs and use IE 6.0
In the wake of a dispute with NaFigator , I decided to briefly express my ideas about the tabs. I warn you right away, the topic is clearly asking for holywar, although it is not quite familiar to the majority of Habr's visitors.
So why, in an era of growing popularity of Firefox and a renewed interest in Opera, I, a typical representative of the cohort of “advanced users,” use Internet Explorer 6.0? Everything is very simple. I'm furious tabs. I absolutely do not understand why they are needed. I do not accept them. My body does not digest them.
First, we immediately reject statements from the IE series of brakes. I never slowed down on my old computer (cel 2.0 / 1gb) (in my daily life there are up to 12-15 windows I need at a given time . Now I have a much more powerful computer, so I don’t have any problems at all .
')
Secondly, we immediately reject statements from the “IE Falls” series. I do not fall. No need to send me to specially assembled pages, showing how "suddenly" memory begins to leak or something else. In real life, fortunately, such pages are almost never found.
Thirdly, we immediately reject the statements "yes you are a retrograde." Not at all. I use Firefox when doing web development and immensely respect this browser as an excellent working tool (sharpened by a dozen plug-ins, of course). I have a portable firefox on my flash drive. But in everyday life, I continue to use the "six" IE and nowhere in a hurry.
When I develop something, I try to follow the great rules of the right developer: KISS and DRY . From my point of view, the concept of tabs contradicts them. I'll try to explain why.
Because in the standard graphical user interface of most operating systems, there is already a way to switch between active windows. This is the so-called. "Taskbar" or "taskbar". And tabs simply duplicate this functionality. And do not explain that "inside the application - tabs are the only way to switch to another window." The person (yes, you) does not work with a specific application. It works with the interface of the system as a whole .
Tabs turn out to be a completely unnecessary element that adds an additional level of complexity to the system interface. In the stove!
By the way, in Microsoft Office (2007 I did not see) or, for example, in Adobe Acrobat Reader, the ability to switch between active documents within one application is realized without tabs - it simply appears on the taskbar on the document.
So why should I, having a simple, convenient, fast-running, stable means of displaying web pages, built into my system, install some third-party application?
Well, let's holivarit? BUT?
Ps. Degraded cases of interfaces without taskbars will not be considered.
