I agree. In aeroplane design they follow the law of diminishing returns. they calculate how much a particular frequency of accidents (caused by problem A) will cost them (law suits, insurance, bad press etc) vs. the cost to fix problem A. If A costs more to fix than the cost resulting in the accidents, they don't fix it.

Before Safari came along, I used Mozilla and rarely if ever used the tabs feature. I'd rather open a new window and then close it or minimize it if I didn't need it right away.
The mozilla tabs were simply too buggy for me to bother with.
I hope Apple works on compatibility issues before it spends time on designing tabs that work.
