Yeah, I agree with you on this. My thoughts are:
      * While there is space available, we should use the available
        space by allowing the tabs to be larger and more readable.
      * Once we have filled the window with tabs, we can start shrinking
        the size of the tabs.
      * Once there can be no more reduction of tab size we start using
        the scroll buttons.
This would have to be implemented in a way so that, as you've said,
"when you created N+1 tabs, it should show N tabs with a little bit
smaller width and scroll button".

Cheers,
Peter.
