No strong feelings either way, but if I was forced to choose at the
point of a gun, I'd say I agree with you ... keep the current behavior.
That's only because I tend to find tabs opening in the foreground kinda
disruptive.  Even if it's my intention to switch to the newly opened tab
right away, I still prefer it to open in the background.  But I can live
with it either way.
