I consider it a nuisance. I have a good window manager (i3). It can tab or stack windows however I please, and I can navigate through my tabs of windows with the same keybindings across my OS. When browsers decided to force tabs on everyone, suddenly the keyboard shortcuts that work everywhere else no longer work in the browser.

Same goes for various chat apps that don't open conversations or buddy lists in new windows. Even vim, as much as I like it, frustrates me I can't open views to a buffer in separate X windows, no I must split windows in vim.

Window management is a bolt on feature to these apps and none of them do it as well as the window manager I'm already running.

I wish Windows and OSX had implemented OS wide tabbed windows a long time ago, then maybe these application developers wouldn't have felt it necessary to add these features inside the apps.
