Should?  I tend to use tabs to
    a) keep multiple windows open
    b) as short term bookmarks ("I want to look at that link, but I'll 
just finish reading this page first")

Retraining myself to use tabs in a different way, which I find 
counter-intuitive would certainly fix part of the problem I'm moaning 
about.  Except that I'd occasionally forget to do it, and would then get 
annoyed.  And anyway, this isn't hates-lusers.com, it's the software 
that's broken and I hates it!  Opera can go back without forcing me to 
retrain myself.

vim++, how do you use it as an email editor? 
me-- trying to manually wrap messages and getting it wrong.  (At my old 
works setup, the client wrapped at x characters per line, and the server 
wrapped at y - where x != y - causing much amusement.)
