Personally, I agree with the "interface hall of shame" guys on this issue.
After all, who says a list widget has to have add/delete/edit semantics?
There are list widgets everywhere in GNOME, KDE and Windows that don't allow
you to add/delete/edit, so this isn't an issue.

For examples of where lists are infinitely preferable to tabs, see:
