Vertical tabs is really great.

But there were already extensions for that, which is a better approach than Firefox developing a feature only a small subset of people will use1.
For years every Firefox discussion I saw would have some person saying "why are they wasting their time on X? I won't use it til they have vertical tabs" with scores of upvotes.

This perfectly encapsulates the Mozilla position. Every possible move makes people complain.

Hard disagree. The extensions were terrible, at least for what I want, and probably can't integrate with the UI in the same way.
