  In WebOS, everything is a card. When you're trying to pull ESPN back up, you seek ESPN, not 'browser'.
That I like. It harkens back to the days of non-tabbed browsers on the desktop. But while the desktop is conducive to working with many tabs successfully (UX- and hardware-wise) on mobile, it makes a lot more sense to have a single level of windowing rather than the nesting a tabbed browser gives you.

... but not when you have deliciously usable and tactile "cards". :-)

Right. And by promoting each "tab" to its own "card" at the same level as each other "app" you benefit from that.

Plus in webOS 2.x, stacks reduce the cognitive load of having too many (seemingly) unrelated cards.
