Re: Epiphany interface proposal

[Jeremy Nickurak <jeremy nickurak ca>]

The one thing that's tricky about this is consistency. Tabs for a multiple-document-interface is a well-established UI that virtually any user understands when they sit down at a machine. Gimp is moving in the direction of a tab-ui for MDI, Firefox, Chrome, and IE use tabs... gedit... everything.

When you have a group of associated pages you want to switch back and forth between quickly, putting them in tabs, and the tabs in a single window, is a great way to organize your workspace. Any redesign attempt should make keeping this strength a HUGE priority, or it risks alienating people. If they're going to give up tabs, it's got to be for something HUGELY better, with little or no compromise.

There's something on the wiki already about research on bookmarks and
history: http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/BookmarksHistoryIntegration
