There is vim-like tabs implementation for evil users: https://github.com/krisajenkins/evil-tabs .

I personally use emacs-native way, window-configuration-to-register: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WindowsAndRegisters

(I see you've edited your comment meanwhile but I'll leave my comment here for reference)

I've seen some of these but I don't think any of them actually follow the tabbed interface paradigm:

* visible tab bar, preferably at the top and preferably style-able so that it doesn't look like it's out of Windows 3.11

* dynamic tab names based on file contents (in case of multiple buffers, show the name of the currently focused buffer), so that there's no need for manual tab name management

* tab navigation through shortcuts (open tab, close tab, move tab left/right, etc.)

Sorry for edit. I found and installed evil-tabs after replying and it's actually quite good.

It meets all the points you raised, and I agree with them - I prefer evil-tabs for that reason. Although I must that admit that evil-tabs only implements only crucial subset of all vim tabs features mentioned in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_tab_pages .

For future reference, evil-tabs is just skin over elscreen.

I created tmux-like keybindings, leveraging hydra and helm for some commands: https://gist.github.com/kozikow/58b46c45a2c24406dc7cde3f1861... .

In emacs, helm-buffer ("<SPC> b b" in spacemacs) has basically replaced tabs for me, and I haven't really missed them.
